WA has unlicensed loaded long gun (and pistol) open carry in the Capitol building,..and has forever. It has never been a problem..right up to the gov's office door, and inside if you have an invite. School kids used to be able to carry long guns to school for show and tell...at least in the free states. Why should we shield kids from a natural right (at least that is what the US and WA constitution calls it)
Is the WI government afraid of their constituents? Criminals that would do you harm will carry into the building and could care less what the law is. Law abiding citizens will not carry into the areas that are restricted, only becasue they abide the law...so what do you think.
Protias and Paul. If you want to add this to your letter to the gov, you can tell him this is a comment from a WA resident, that has friends in WI.
Edit to add: BTW: Washington CeaseFire (equiv to your WAVE) has made it a point to attack OC here in WA, and I understand it is being orchastrated by the VPC in DC in all states that allow OC... It is an attempt to divide and conquer....you know...I don't OC so banning OC won't effect me...I don't drink so banning beer won't effect me, I don't smoke, so banning smoking won't effect me, etc etc...until they come for your favorite, then no-one is left to support you...Well, I actually do all of the above, and I'm aready alerting my representitave that this is a no-go.
