@J.Gleason----you said that most people already know that open carry is legal. in my opinion i would have to say the opposite. i would say nearly more than half of the people that i talk to about this have no idea that open carry is legal. hell i'm surprised how many people i encounter that think ANYTHING gun related (other than hunting) is illegal.


in my opinion, when it comes to raising awareness, we can't assume that people know, because then we won't inform the ones that don't know.

+1 there. I still find many people in my day that have NO idea that you can carry a firearm, and that you dont have to register your weapons in Wisconsin. Heck, sometimes even after I have told them in the past its legal they still dont think so.

From my conversation with Lt. Gumm, he seemed pro-carry. I don't think he meant this as a back door policy for businesses. However, if businesses do decide to post these signs, they can guarantee me not visiting them.

A state Chamber of Commerce tried a similar tactic shortly after a concealed carry law, that the CofC disputed, was passed. They sent 'ghostbuster' no-guns signs to all of their members with the suggestion that they would incur additional liability absent these signs. It took years for them to be removed and ultimately made moot.

Don't think that will be a problem now that they gave you permission to place a icarry sticker in their front window. :D
