The picnic at the St. Croix County Fairground in Glenwood City on Aug. 23 was not your typical Sunday afternoon luncheon.
The patriotic picnic played host to about 350 people eating corn on the cob, playing bean bag toss and catching up with friends. These people brought more than casseroles and barbecue to the potluck, however. They brought their handguns with them.
Dave “Ole” Olson hosted the picnic to educate the public and gun owners about their rights.
A large display was erected in the center of the picnic grounds. The boards educated those in attendance about gun laws in Wisconsin.
In addition to the display, there was a petition on a board. The petition was sponsored by opencarry.org. The organization hopes to change the law that requires Wisconsin residents to have their guns unloaded in a vehicle. In addition, the petition wants to rework the law about adults not being able to carry firearms in schools.
Ultimately, those who signed the petition want to make Wisconsin’s guns laws more similar to Minnesota’s.
There were guidelines at the picnic. Attendees had to keep their guns holstered at all times. Only adults 18 years and older could be carrying guns at the event. No long guns -- rifles and shotguns -- were permitted, and there was no alcohol served or brought to the picnic.
A guest book was available for those in attendance to willingly sign. The event was free, but Olson was appreciative of any goodwill donations that were given.
Olson said another similar event is scheduled in Hudson for mid-October.
