When with the misinformation on this issue end? Registration and licensing of gun ownership appears to be largely unknown in America, see map at http://www.opencarry.org/register.html

The open carry advocates are back and they'd like you to feel unsafe and uncomfortable while you shop for your groceries or get your caffeine fix for the day.
According to a recent police report, several individuals took it upon themselves to pack heat and walk into Fair Trade Coffee on State St. – making the owner, and presumably most of the patrons, feel deeply troubled.
I was told that a similar situation played itself out at Trader Joe's on Monroe St. around the same time, involving a gentleman with a pistol at his side who handed out pamphlets extolling the virtue of projectile weapons to both staff and customers.
It is currently legal to openly carry a firearm if you have a license to do so in Wisconsin (there are some restrictions, including a ban on having a gun in a vehicle or any private or state property that explicitly prohibits them). These folks are apparently just especially appreciative of said right.
