That certainly was not my intention.You are correct Doug- I have deleted my post, as I (personally) had no information to base it upon, other than speculation.

While I believe we should have a united front here in Wisconsin, we all need to remember that those groups are primarily supporting concealed carry. While I am sure they like the thought of no permit as much as we do, I am also sure they support mandated training. Now with that said there is already a fall back in position by WCI for free training for those who will need it, so that should, in theory remove that obstacle.
In order to make an alliance (Hmm, Wisconsin Carry Alliance, a new group name maybe) we need to remember to show support for the other groups concerns as well.
Not only should we continue to work toward the repeal, but also move to the ear of Gunderson, push the likes of Gene German out of our way and sit down at the legislative table as just that, the Alliance. With free training there is no need for German to even be involved in the bill in any way. He is from Minnesota, let him worry about his own state.
I have had some very good conversations with my legislators in the past two weeks. Senator Frank Lasee stated to me that he is very interested in the repeal as it meets his agenda for VT style carry. I have also heard back from my state assemblyman a copy of which I have attached here. The tide is right, the house and senate are right, the Gov's office is on board. The issue we are falling up against is convincing these people that moving from a complete ban on CCW to VT style or Constitutional Carry is not such a ridiculous move. As proven in Arizona for example there is no blood in the streets, no wild west shoot outs and still the crime rate continues to drop. Taking all of those baby steps did nothing more than cost the tax payers more money in legislation, fees and taxes. It increased government and more than likely all of those government jobs are probably still sucking up tax dollars when the positions are no longer needed. They were not, after all, needed in the first place.
It is a tough argument ahead but if we unite we will have a better chance of overcoming the obstacle.
AS far as Corey Graf, well OK invite WGO too, we can always use 1 more person.
At the gun show this fall in Onalaska.
Pre-election day. Things have completely changed. Besides, WCI will be getting instructors who will train people, both members and non-members, as a public service, for gratis.
Once the instructors who are demanding training to purely pad their income see this, they will drop their demand and will have to compete with the free service that WCI's instructors will offer.
Doug, if you do not cease the attacks against other gun rights organizations, by calling them "tyrants" and "wannabe leadahs" (your quotes), I will put your account on a moderated status to where none of your posts will be made until approved by the moderator team. This is your last warning. You will respect the rules of OCDO, or you will lose your privilege to post here where your words can be seen. Are we clear? -OCDO ModeratorIs there a way to become certified in order to provide these free services for our citizens? Does anyone have info. on how to begin this process?

Until the bill is written, we will have no idea. I expect WCI to publish and give a guide to everyone.
It would be nice to have some insight- and be as prepared as possible. A mad scramble at the last minute to obtain the appropriate certification/education may prove to be counter productive, and present road-blocks.
removed useless comment -OCDO moderator team It is hypothetical at this time.Remember that it's a weapons license, not a firearms license.

Thanks.Glad to see someone else has the spirits pegged.
Thanks.
Thanks to the Good Doctor, Doctor Bombay (Sapphire), with tunes in my earbuds, Popper's Logic of Scientific Discovery on the KINDLE and a notebook and pen full of ink for notes.
WCCCI is a good periodic break for a sip. But $100/gallon is killing the budget - demonstrating inflation in a glass darkly.
Eenie meanie chili beaney, the spirits have spoken! It is hypothetical at this time.
I'm pleased to announce that Wisconsin Carry Inc. will be partnering with the United States Conceal Carry Association to bring Constitutional Carry to Wisconsin.
I was pleased to be contacted by the president of the USCCA today who inquired as to whether Wisconsin Carry would be willing to work with them to bring constitutional carry to Wisconsin. I politely responded HELL YES.
Here is a link to the USCCA and also a specific link to their Constitution Carry for Wisconsin website:
http://www.usconcealedcarry.com

He believes the time is right. The USCCA is putting their FULL support behind TRUE constitution carry in Wisconsin. The USCCA has a huge in-state and national footprint and their support will have a HUGE impact on this effort.
I believe the odds of non permit right to conceal in Wisconsin this next legislative session just got A LOT better.
This will still not be easy. Sr. Staffers of the "old blood" in the Wisconsin legislature have expressed to me that they DO support non-permit right to carry "in principle" but they are convinced that it is impractical to go from no right to CC to constitution carry in Wisconsin. Until I speak with the legislators officially, I will give them an opportunity to reconsider their position before we initiate pressure on them and name names.
I can also confirm that a segment of the firearm instructor lobby in Wisconsin and MN IS already actively lobbying legislators in Madison for "mandatory training"
I am waiting for an "official" response from a few other notable groups in Wisconsin. Not that their support is essential, but it would be nice to have a unanimous front.
I will say if anyone here is a member of the WCCA, or would just like to help, please contact Bill Schmitz and ask him and WCCA to support constitution carry in Wisconsin. I know Bill and he is a good guy, and he has been very supportive of Wisconsin Carry from the beginning. He is going to confer with the WCCA board over the next few weeks and see what their official position is. Obviously, a year ago, no one had any idea Wisconsin would have a republican governor, senate, and assembly, so they are re-evaluating their game plan.
I do think it would be very helpful to have their support. Bill is a good guy, here is the contact information for the WCCA from their website:
