Have all of you written not only your own Senator, but the rest of the Republican Senators?
Tell them you want 941.63 repealed, and 167.31 too.
That's a bare minimum good start.

Give rational facts about why they're useless laws (most importantly, they don't affect criminals in the least, but do lower our safety when we follow them).
((That didn't come out right... you know what I mean. By following the law, we are less safe, not that sometimes we follow the law & sometimes we don't. That would be a stupid thing to say on a public forum, wouldn't it?))

I posted all the contact info for R Senators in another thread earlier today.
(See #11: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...s-Other-Bills-Like-CCW.&p=1472583#post1472583 )

If they need or want testimony as to why concealed carry would be helpful, I know at least 6 of us who can speak from personal experience about being harassed by police for carrying openly.

Of course, once the Senate passes it, it starts all over again in the House.

Do you mean 941.23? :eek:

I thought the senate couldn't do anything at all without a quorum and they need one more body, meaning a Democrat, to join them in order to have a quorum present.

Isn't that the whole reason they're hiding in Illinois?

[Wisconsin’s Democratic state senators thought they pulled a fast one by booking it for Illinois rather than allowing their Republican colleagues to rescind the collective bargaining privileges of public servants, they thought wrong. While twenty senators are required for a quorum on fiscal issues, and there are only 19 Republicans, “a simple majority of 17 members constitutes a quorum for other bills in the 33-seat state senate.” When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker calls the Senate into session this week, “there is a whole legislative agenda that Republicans in the senate and assembly can start acting on that only requires simple majorities” Walker told National Review Online. “If [Dems] want to do their jobs, and have a say, they better show up.”]

as long as it doesn't have to do with money they only need a simple majority of 13
