I thought they were taking them down to the ground, and then determining if they had any rights?I know Waukesha PD were stopping people who were armed Friday evening. As far as I know, no arrests were made.
It's nice to see that, even tho they are crossing the line, they aren't going as far as Comrade Flynn would like.P.I.

It's probably because it's legal and a civil right.I'm am supprised Waukesha did not arrest anyone. Usally they arrest everyone for anything they can. We'll see what happens in the near future.

I wonder why such a large man chose a 38 special to OC? Also, what are the implications of loading your gun from the back of the car, in the open?
Since he is a member, maybe he will answer?
I think he did a great job promoting OC. Thank you!
I was glad that made the cut into the piece. During the pre and post carry interview they took about 30 minutes of video of question/answer. So you never know what soundbytes are going to make the on-air story. Of course immediately after they leave you start to play back in your mind EVERYTHING you said and pray that they don't edit in such a way to take anything out of context. I thought they did a fair job.Good story. I like the guy's words, "This is America, this is not a police state."
Ed Flynn is the Milwaukee Police Chief. I OC'd in New Berlin, a Suburb of Milwaukee.It's nice to see that, even tho they are crossing the line, they aren't going as far as Comrade Flynn would like.

I like the airweight for OC. Its small and doesn't get in the way, and its light so it doesn't drag my pants down. So thats what I chose for the story. I do have 2 hips, so I guess I could always go heeled on both sides.
My other handguns are a S&W 500 Magnum, don't want to OC that. Glock 23, its not as comfy to OC for me (maybe if I got a better holster for it)
So I OC the 38 spcl most of the time. Plus my girlfriend thinks its "cute"

There were a few really on-point comments I made to a few of her questions (questions that a typical person with little or NO gun experience would ask. ) that I wish they had included. Really addressed some of the "gun myths", but they didnt' make the cut.

When I OC in milwaukee I'm wearing old clothes and knee pads because I fully expect to be ordered down at gunpoint.
But, 'stopping" someone for merely OCing is unlawful itself. I wonder if the Mayor got somthing lost in the translation?Tom,
I just recently discussed this with the Police Chief. It will be business as usual in New Berlin, if they encounter and (sic) open carry, that person will be stopped and questioned. He does not like the ruling at this time.

Meh, why test the waters with an $$$$ piece (in worst case scenario that you get arrested and gun gets taken).I wonder why such a large man chose a 38 special to OC?
Right, without reasonable suspicion that a law has been broken, the police are breaking the law by stopping someone for engaging in a lawful activity, and the mayor is implicitly condoning it.WI Patriot wrote:But, 'stopping" someone for merely OCing is unlawful itself.
