Conceal Carry Law

[yale]

The point is, you already have a right to carry in WI. You just can't conceal. You carry openly, loud and proud. There is no reason to hide your firearm if you are not up to no good. The Govenor has made this clear when he vetoed the CCW bill. I will never understand why anyone would want to make it harder to exercise a right by wanting to have a permit process.

In theory, that's wonderful. In practice, (in WI among others) it's a bunch of BS. Legal, yes. But you can be sure that you will be harassed by LE. If the Gov really wanted to put his money where his mouth is, he would have advocated for some sort of civil action against any LEO who harassed someone OCing without having probable cause. Furthermore, you must unload and encase before you enter a vehicle. Not very practical.

Very well, let's call for a complete repeal of the CC ban and recognize the right without requiring a permit. I don't see that happening anytime soon. Permit requirements are unconstitutional as far as I'm concerned, but it sure beats their current status, and would be a step in the right direction.

What good is putting a gun on my power chair to protect myself if I can't have it loaded.

Now I hope you can see my problem.

I do not need protection in my car, but when I like to roll around town and window shop and go to my church's church school soccer games I would like to have a little more protection than Barney Fife.

Well, since your state is definitely infringing on your right to conceal your firearm, I say you open carry something like this:



Of course, I think we could beef up the mount a little, considering you have a power chair. What do you think about adding this:



Think about it, Shari. We could do a combination USA Carry open carry picnic/chair mod.
