I was very pleased to read the article in Sunday's Janesville Gazette about open carry. I have been openly carrying my FNP-40 on my hip at home and in my neighborhood for the past 2 years. I have been tempted many times to do so in town as well, and now plan to do so. I am aware of the various laws that limit where and when I can carry, and about transportation of a weapon. The article made mention that it is good policy to obtain a signed permission slip from retailers. I would like to learn more about how to go about doing this, and if there is a form for doing so.
I am a lifetime member of the NRA; I posess a CCW permit from Utah; and as a result of the Gazette article, just became a member of Wisconsin Carry. I was not aware of others like me, until now, who wish to exercise our SA right through open carry. I can't tell you how happy this has made me. It is my belief that if enough law abiding, good citizens strapped a piece to our hip, and went out in the community, it would expedite the passage of concealed carry laws. However, I do not support giving up our open carry rights in order to get concealed carry in Wisconsin. I also favor concealed carry without a permit, but if that's where we have to start, then so be it!
I would appreciate any help you can give me regarding my question above.
I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and comments, they have been very helpful.
