CONGRATULATIONS WISCONSIN and WISCONSIN CARRY dot ORG
Congratulations Wisconsin!
I know and agree that you would have preferred Constitutional Carry, but every gain is a step closer. Keep up the good fight taking a bite or nibble at a time. This is a major milestone.
From a fellow member of the population of Utah, and a former member of the population of Wisconsin, CONGRATULATIONS WISCONSIN. And a special thanks to Wisconsin Carry for all the work put into this Bill. This is indeed a major milestone. One, I hope, of many to follow. So yes, keep up the good and honorable fight and take even more steps toward freedom. A Castle Doctrine Bill patterned after the FL or UT versions would be a step in the right direction. Particularly one patterned after the UT Castle Doctrine since it extends to your mode of transportation (car, truck, RV, etc.)
This is only the beginning. Wisconsin residents will slowly figure out that WI will be just like the other "Shall Issue" States, there will be no wild west shoot-outs, and that ordinary citizens will become even more law abiding when they get their permits. Here in UT you can tell who the permit holders are. They are the ones slowing up traffic on the freeway by doing the speed limit. They are the ones who go to the Motel 6 rather than exchange harsh words with their spouse. They are the ones waiting patiently for the WALK light to come on even when no cars are around.
And, this is a major victory for Woman's Rights in Wisconsin. Today, a Bill was signed into law that, when it takes effect, will allow women the means and opportunity to have a concealed handgun for personal protection against those who would harm them or rob them or their loved ones.
When I left Wisconsin, I told myself I would never again reside in a state that disarms me. Now, the place of my childhood and birth will be on the OK to move to list when the Bill takes effect.
CARRY ON WISCONSIN ! Proudly Carry On.
PS - I am disappointed in an Associated Press article that features gun shops offering Concealed Carry Courses for $120 - $160 per head. I understand making a profit, but this is "gouging" for those who do not offer a Nationally Recognized Certificate of Accomplishment (eg: NRA Pistol Course Certificate)
The Yellow Cat With The M-4 intends to return to WI to offer the NRA Pistol Course to WI Carry Members, or Veterans for about $50 (that includes the $30 MSRP cost of the textbook, test, certificate, etc.). You not only fulfill the requirements for firearms familiarity, but you get a Certificate of Accomplishment from THE most recognized firearms training organization in the USA, the NRA. This could be of great value if you ever need to use your right to defend yourself and the lawsuit challenges the quality of your training. I will also be offering the Utah Concealed Firearms Permit course for those interested - at rock bottom prices like last time.
