We had another beautiful day today.
One of the attendees was Don Pridemore, the Representative from the 99th District.
http://legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/contact/legislatorpages.aspx?house=Assembly&district=99
He supports true Constitutional Carry and indicated that he would vote against SB93 as it sits now. Before it was amended to add the optional permit, he indicated he would of supported it.
He stated he will be introducing an amendment to AB126 (shall issue) that will require, among other things, 2 hours training. Here's the interesting catch. One would only need to carry a card from a certified firearm instructor that the bearer had completed 2 hours of training. No requirement as to content. In addition, a referendum would be held in November 2013 and the people would vote yes or no on keeping permits.
If permits were voted down, people could at that time opt out of the permit and get their information expunged from the database.
His contention is that the people demanding training today are non-firearm people and this would placate them in the short term until WI based evidence develops that training isn't needed.
Anyhow, he said it will be introduced tomorrow. I am supposed to get a copy but it will be public tomorrow anyhow.
Some other points of discussion, he indicated he had not received any or at least noticeable feedback from his constituents asking for him to support any one concealed carry law. He indicated what we need to do in the short term is flood our representatives and tell them what we want. He seemed to indicate that it was close enough between all of them that which ever is the loudest will win.
Anyone else please chime in in case I mis-stated or forgot something.
