We've got a city in Ohio where a Wisconsin case was cited (Gonzalez v Village of West Milwaukee), within the Ohio case. In the Ohio case (Butcher v City of Cuyahoga Falls) is mention of Wisconsin's "disorderly conduct" law, and a conclusion that basically "panic at the sight of an open carrier equals grounds for a Terry stop".
My understanding is that the law has been revised, but I am interested in examining the old AND new wording of WI disorderly conduct law for comparison purposes. Any other comments, information would be appreciated also.
If you can provide the text and/or a link, I would be appreciative.
As you can imagine, municipalities like to use threats or actual charges of disorderly conduct, inducing panic, or menacing (under Ohio's revised codes) against OCers.
Thanks for your input, and if you would like to comment on the Ohio matter, here is a link to where the WI case is mentioned:
