If you read The Wisconsin disorderly conduct statute 947.01 you will find that the case of Braun v Baldwin is referenced in the Annotations to the statue. It reads:
"Defiance of a police officer's order to move is itself disorderly conduct if the order is lawful". Braun v Baldwin 346 F3d 761(2003).

The annotation may or may not be an accurate reflection of what the case actually said. I am not commenting on this particular annotationor thisparticular case, but I have found lots and lots of annotations that are just plain wrong when one goes to the actual case to read it.

My point is simple:

Raven was convicted of disorderly conduct, in large part because she carried a firearm.

I understood Raven was holding the gun in her hand and waiving it around, and refused to put it down when ordered to do so. The Raven situation is quite a stretch of logic and reason to apply to someone with a holstered firearm.

In response to inquiries, I cited two cases where it appeared a defendant was convicted of DO for carrying. If no one believes those defendants were convicted primarily because they were carrying, that's okay. What I don't understand, however, is if everybody is convinced that no one ever has been convicted of DO for open carrying, why is nobody here posting that they open carry?

It is a good question.
