Wisconsin: Republican Lawmakers are OK with Concealed Carry - No Permit or Training Req'd

The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on a retooled bill Wednesday that would allow people to carry guns without registering them with the state.

The latest version of the bill would allow Wisconsin residents to carry concealed weapons as long as they were a resident, 21 years old and not barred from possessing firearms because of past felony convictions or because of mental health problems. Concealed weapons would be banned from police stations, jails, prisons, courthouses and airports beyond security checkpoints.

That this bill is the one emerging from the Senate committee indicates that the idea of "constitutional carry" has taken hold with at least among some state senators. This idea, now the law in four states, allows people to carry guns under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution without requiring permitting or other approvals from state authorities.

CLUMSY concealed carry citizens share the restaurant with Walker and his RETHUG henchmen. I'm sure they won't mind a few "oopsie" lessons learned from dropped guns over their salad course. :eyes:

Most states allow some form of concealed carry, and none seem to be awash in blood. You'd be hard pressed to come up with a pattern of behavior that shows that concealed handgun owners make you significantly less safe.

republicans here want guns in bars, restaurants, churches, schools, parks, day-care centers - anywhere that people gather. The belief is that if everyone is armed and ready to kill, we are all safer. Obviously, this is lethal nonsense, but what have you heard a republican say lately that wasn't some form of lethal nonsense?

with out registering those guns? wow! i wonder how many of those guns will wind up in the hands of the street gangs in the midwest.

On edit, I am totally wrong and totally shocked. http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/statepatrol/enforcement/faqs-enforcement.htm
