It doesn’t matter how many people already own guns or open carry OR how much training THEY have, the people will only hear key words like GUNS & NO TRAINING!

    If the “Lower Taxes,” “Less Bureaucracy,” “Smaller Government,” “Reduce Spending” Republicans vote for a “Larger Government,” “More Spending,” “More Bureaucracy,” and “Higher Taxes” they will hand the legislature and the governors mansion to the Democrats for the next 20 years.

    “No Permit” carry IS in the WI State GOP platform, are they going to abandon their platform?  The Dems will be calling them Flip-Floppers for years to come if they do that.
