Here is the concealed carry bill.

(3) Establishment of individual licensure.

Paul, please tell me this isn't a late April Fool's joke! This is incredible! It seems to be a pure Constitutional Carry bill!

Wahoo!!Why did you include two more bills in a later post?

I almost love you guys!

Please support and sign on as co-authors/co-sponsors to LRB 11-20071. It is 19 pages of almost perfection! As you can see, the other versions, the ones that are 'shall issue' are much more expensive and take many more pages!!!

Please, please sign on by the May 9th deadline.

Here is the only amendment I would offer. As it is currently written, we would still be in peril with the Federal Gun Free School zone if we were armed and drove within 1000' of school property. With some simple wording, we can fix that. Here is the wording:

"(3) Establishment of individual licensure.
In consideration that the right to keep and bear arms is protected and reserved to the 75 people in Article I, section 25, of the Wisconsin constitution and by the second amendment of the United States constitution, a person who has not been convicted of 77 a violent, felony crime and who is lawfully able to own or to possess a firearm under 78 the Wisconsin constitution is considered to be individually licensed and verified by the state of Wisconsin within the meaning of the Provisions regarding individual licensure and verification in the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act"

The state of Montana has this wording and so far no issues.

This is a great day to be a Wisconsinite!

I believe that is the deal. They are asking for co-authors and/or co-sponsors and my gut feeling is the version that gets the most 'wins' being actually introduced and that one will have the public hearing on the 12th.

You have a contradiction in your reply to my question. The big question is, are they going to ask for co-sponsors for just Right to Carry legislation at this point? Or are co-sponsor request going to come out shortly for the other two as well.

If they are going to look for co-sponsors for Right to Carry, then proceed to see if they have the votes without introducing any other bills. THEN, in the case that Right to Carry didn't pass, they would start looking for co-sponsors of the next bill (Permit).

If they are going to send all of these out for co-sponsor then we need to comb through all of this legislation and send the addendums we want to them. If they aren't, then we can tackle addendum information for the other legislation at a later date.
