Folks - nobody speaks for OpenCarry.org except for John Pierce and me (Mike Stollenwerk). But we encourage our members to talk to the press and represent the open carry movement well.
If anyone is going to attend the hearing tomorrow and wants to touch base with Linda, please do.
BTW, John and I feel the main issue here, and before the Judge, is gross abuse of the Disorderly Conduct charge to be a catch all offense to be used by the authorities on anyone at anytime. Yes gun rights are involved, but if the police can do this to Brad for planting a tree in his year, they can sweep anyone off the street for just wearing say an anti-abortion T-shirt or holding an anti-death penalty sign.

Dear Mr. Pierce and Mr. Stollenwerk,
I will be covering the West Allis hearing involving Brad Krause on Tuesday. I am interested in learning more about the plans by OpenCarry.org to attend the hearing and what you see as the significance of the decision in this case.
Could you please tell me if you will have a specific representative at Tuesday’s hearing with whom I might speak?
Thank you for bringing this case to our attention.
Best regards,
