Hi everyone. Sorry its been so long since I posted. But now Im hoping I am through theworst of it. On June 6th, 2009, I had a open carry experience in Milwaukee that I hope no one would have to go through. I have done my research and do my best to follow the laws for oc. I was arrested at my house for oc in milwaukee. The police had gotten a phone call from a woman who seen me walk into a gas station while oc'ing. An hour later the police showed up at my house, disarmed me, and after a short interrogation, they decided to arrest me. Another problem, I had my daughter for the weekend and my wife was at work. But still, that didnt matter. They took me in and called my x-wife to get her. The police said they were going to charge me with disorderly conduct, oc'ing in a school zone, ccw, illegal transportation of firearm, and transport of a loaded firearm. Which I was in violation of none. After 20 hours of being detained, all charges were dropped and I was released. As far as getting my firearm back, thats a another story. So I file a petition for return of property. When Iwent downtown to serve the appropiate papers to the different departments required of me, the very next day the D.A. issues me a ticket through the Department of Natural Resources. And managed to set all court dates before the return of property date. So I put in a plea of not guilty, and fought the ticket. When I motioned for discovery, they had nothing and the ticket was dismissed. Now finally, after all the song and dance I figured I would get my gun back, seeing as I did not break any laws or use the gun in any unlawfull manner. Today was my court date and the petition was denied. I am very displeased with the outcome and cant believe how this happened in the first place. I plan on filing an appeal but have very little hope of getting my gun back.
