Wisconsin Carry Inc. - Chairman
Wisconsin Carry, Inc.
I have spoken with the staff of each of the 3 candidates for Governor regarding their willingness to make Wisconsin the 4th state to have "true" right to carry (like Alaska, Vermont, and Arizona)
I posed the following question to each candidate:
So far I have received a reply from Scott Walker:
"I would sign such a bill to finally give law abiding citizens the right to conceal carry." - Scott Walker
Let no one claim that true 'right to carry' is not possible in Wisconsin this next legislative session. The state GOP has removed the words "permit" from its party platform, so far 1 gubernatorial candidate has indicated he will sign a repeal of 941.23 Clearly true right to carry is a viable possibility.
I will post the responses from Neumann and Barrett as soon as I receive them.
Carry On!
I posed the following question to each candidate:
We don't know what specific legislation will be introduced regarding conceal
carry in the next session, but our organization ultimately has the goal of
moving Wisconsin to what Arizona, Alaska, and Vermont currently have, which is
the right to carry concealed without a permit so long as you are legally allowed
to posses a firearm (not a felon, no mental/psych issues,etc). We believe
permits and mandatory training are just more government bureaucracy and
effectively "taxes" which criminals will ignore and only the law abiding will be
encumbered by. We strongly advocate for voluntary training, but when states
pass mandatory training requirements for their permits, the training classes go
from around $100 per class or less before they are mandatory to around $300+ per
class once they become mandatory. We don't think a person should have to pay a
tax of $400 (mandatory training plus permit fee) to have the right to carry if
you are a law abiding adult with no criminal record.
If the legislature got a bill to (Mark's, Scott's, Tom's) desk that offered NO OTHER PROVISIONS OTHER than to repeal 941.23 (Wisconsin's conceal carry ban) which would effectively allow all law-abiding citizens who have NO criminal record and are
legally allowed to own and posses firearms, to conceal carry without any permit
or mandatory training, would (Mark, Scott, Tom) sign that and repeal 941.23?
