please hit this poll - STOP (they've gone to press & lied about the #s)
http://www.expressmilwaukee.com/poll-284.html
Gov.-elect Scott Walker and recently elected state Republicans favor concealed carry legislation that would allow concealed guns in public. Do you believe that permitting guns at bars, coffee shops, festivals and playgrounds would make the city safer?
Yes. Citizens should be allowed to carry guns anywhere.
No. Milwaukee needs fewer guns on the street, not more.
FYI, Wisconsin ONLY has open carry (until the new legislature gets its act together), and barring private property owners posting "no guns" signs, ALL the places listed already allow people to carry. Yes, even bars, but the owner or manager must give permission, so it's not common.
Also join in the discussion if you're so inclined.
ETA: As of the posting of this bit, opinion was running 65% no, 35% yes. Predictable for this particular little paper.
As of 2pm, it's 53% no, 47% yes. They don't show numbers of votes.
I'm wondering when they have to go to press, when they'll pull the numbers from the poll? (They publish Thursdays.)
As of 11:45pm Thurs. (well after they've gone to press): 42% no 57% yes
But their published numbers? 64% no, 36% yes. What lying sacks of $#|t.
I left a voice mail for the editor asking about writing an guest column on gun rights.
He hasn't called me back. I'm not holding my breath.
