Once again the morons in Madison are making it easier for criminals to make victims out of the citizens of Dane County.

Although it's not law yet, Dane County leaders are taking a stand against a bill legalizing the carrying of concealed weapons.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said he wants to "protect the public" if and when concealed carry is passed. He said there's simply no need for weapons -- legal or not -- inside any county facility.
Under the concealed-carry bill passed on Tuesday by the Senate, it would be legal for someone to carry a concealed gun in the terminal at the Dane County Regional Airport.
"There's really no good that can come from someone bringing a weapon into an airport," Parisi said.
Not only is the legislation not sitting well with Parisi, it also worries airport Director Brad Livingston. He said the safety and security of the traveling public at the airport is extremely important and that weapons should not be allowed past the front doors of the airport.
Due to these concerns, a resolution was introduced to the Dane County Board Thursday night prohibiting concealed weapons from county buildings, such as the Dane County Regional Airport, the Alliant Energy Center and the City-County Building.
"Citizens should not have to worry about hidden guns when picking up a marriage license, voting or going to a concert in Dane County," Parisi said. "We must not leave any doubt regarding concealed weapons in county facilities."
