At the Waukesah Gun Show last weekend, there was an organization promoting open carry that I had not come across before. They are called "Wisconsin Patriots" and have a website. http://www.wisconsinpatriots.com/
I talked briefly to one of the people at the table and he said they want to petition each county to pass a resolution supporting open carry as "a citizen's lawful excercise of their constitutionallly protected rights".
I also signed one of their petitions for Waukesha County residents, which I am, and was told they are trying to organize additional petition drives at places that sell guns, like Sportsmans Warehouse and Gander Mountain. He also said they will seek support from the stores for open carry at those petition drives. My opinion is, "If the store doesn't support the open carry, don't hold the petition drive there."
I am not a shill for these guys, but it looked to me like an organization that is supporting the same side of this issue that I support and may be a vehicle to destigmatize open carry or to finally get concealed carry here.
Anybody else know anything about this org?
