this is the historic moment. this is history, and were a part of it. thank you all who can go to the hearings. thank us all for what we have done big and small to get to this historic moment. it is an honor to know each and every one of you. speak the truth, be determined. judging from the forum numbers we have attention. and from the polls we rule the day.

a proud moment, though probably not deserved; my 3rd oldest came home and mentioned they spoke of Concealed Carry coming to pass in their class today, and he turned to me and said; That's because of you huh?

We could be the first to go Constitutional Carry from almost nothing, through the legislature. Let's make history!

McX, it is makes you proud to be a father eh? :)

I just got off the phone with Leroy Jonas, Sen.Galloway's aide. He called in response to an email with questions about the Wausau hearing.

Due to the large number of people expected to speak, comments will be limited to 2 minutes. A speaker should have 5 copies of his/her comments for the committee. That way, if the 2 minutes runs out, they still have a written version of your comments.

phred -- when are you going to be there?

I have heard/seen three different start times, but Sen Galloway's aide said start at noon and go until 6:00 PM. So, I am planning on being there right around noon and staying as long as I can, hopefully until 6 PM. Then I will head down to Gander Mt for the NRA thingy at 6:30 (until 9:00 PM) Me thinks it will be a long day!

I would try to get there a little early. If it is anything like the budget hearings, they started taking names a couple hours ahead of time and then called you in order.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO MADISON TOMORROW, The Madison hearing is ONLY hearing the "shall-issue" permit bill. WHEN YOU SIGN IN at the hearing you have to sign in "in favor" of the bill or "against". Wisconsin Carry along with our friends over at the massive Wisconsin Tea Party Coalition are asking our members to all WRITE IN a 3rd option and sign in, "in support of CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY."

This way they cannot tabulate people attending for constitutional carry in support of "shall-issue" nor could they tabulate people attending for constitutional carry as against concealed carry.

:dude:

Fwiw, the clerk here in Madison just announced that writing in in favor of cons. Carry can't be recorded. You must check one Of the for or against boxes.
Write it in anyway, check the favor box
