Wisconsin Carry, Inc. www.wisconsincarry.org has been asked to participate in the Oktoberfest Parade on September 25, 2010. The La Crosse police chief has refused to give permission for WCI members to go armed, so this will be an empty holster demonstration. We will be handing out information on the Right To Keep And Bear Arms (RTKBA) in Wisconsin. We need ALL the volunteers we can find. If you are willing, please contact me.
Clarification:
I made a request on behalf of WCI a LONG time ago to the police chief for permission to carry in the parade. The chiefs response was "I can give no such permission."
Another WCI member sent a certified letter to the chief in May of this year, the chiefs reply was "" that's right, nothing, nada...
Then my summer went to heck and the ball got dropped, so we missed the opportunity to have a WCI entry.
Within the last week, WCI members were approached by both the LCRP and Dan Kapanke asking us to WALK in the parade. There are multiple issues with GFSZ, just like the Arcadia parade so it was decided that empty holster was the best course of action.
This is an opportunity to get the word out to thousands and when they ask about the "empty holster" it is our best opportunity to educate about this erroneous gun free school zone law. I will post the position in the parade along with the time/place to meet. We would like to have 30+ in the parade. YES, this is the same day as the Baraboo event, and YES, I will be trying to attend the Baraboo event.
The LCRP will be handling the logistics, as we are walking with them. I should have all the details by Monday. For those going to Baraboo, GREAT the more the merrier. For those who would rather go to the fest, would you be willing to walk the parade with your fellow WCI members.
