But the news item is correct - from the petition at bottom: "We also call for maintaining the current complete state preemption of local gun control power, and for the legislature to consider creating a license system to authorize citizens the privilege to conceal their handguns as they move about the state."Before this gets out of hand I want to address the following text in the Eau Claire Leader Telegram.
---The petition asks Wisconsin legislators to repeal restrictions on loaded weapons in vehicles and around schools,
and to start a concealed-carry license system similar to the one enacted by Minnesota in 2003

This is the authors mis-interpretation of the petition. I, as the organizer, didn’t make any statement even remotely aligned with his conclusion.
the article said similar to minnesota, i think that is the part in question, we want it similar to VTFireball357 wrote:But the news item is correct - from the petition at bottom: "We also call for maintaining the current complete state preemption of local gun control power, and for the legislature to consider creating a license system to authorize citizens the privilege to conceal their handguns as they move about the state."Before this gets out of hand I want to address the following text in the Eau Claire Leader Telegram.

Wow! 200 people and most were OC'n?...These events are getting bigger and bigger and more & more people are attending,maybe there is still hope for our state afterall.
I think the petition founder wanted to be both politically realistic and subtly emphasize that open carry is the right and concealed carry permits were a reasonable regulation of concealed carry.It is as simple as the repeal of State Statute 941.23; Carrying concealed weapon.
This should be added to or started as a separate petition.
