In chatting with various elected officials about Constitutional Carry, one of the issues I keep running into is their fear of messing with the GFSZ. They are concerned with organizations like WAVE, The Joyce Foundation, Mayors Against Illegal Guns crucifying them for 'allowing those bad guns inside of schools'. Don't forget, 'it's for the children'!
While we all know and understand that the argument is ridiculous and that laws only stop law abiding people, we need to come up with some additional arguments.
I know and believe the big one, 'It's my right'. The thing we need to remember is that they are politicians. Most of them are trying to make this a career.
Let's work on some others together that we can use.
For example, I was thinking about what would happen if Constitutional Carry passed without an adjustment/repeal to the GFSZ. How would it effect me?
This is what I came up with.
I haven't actually sent this yet but this is the direction I was thinking. If each of us could personalize where we would not be able to carry if they didn't touch the GFSZ, I think they will slowly see the light.

Dear Senator Kedzie,
I know we have talked extensively about Constitutional Carry. I wanted to add some additional data for you to consider about the GFSZ.
If, for example, 941.23 was repealed and 167.31 was 'fixed' so that I could conceal and car carry and the GFSZ wasn't dealt with, I would have to unload my handgun and stick it into a case as I was driving through Elkhorn and turned the corner from hwy 67 to the street in front of the post office. 1000' from a school is at that corner. So, I could not walk into US Bank armed because their only entrance is on a public sidewalk within 1000' of the school, I couldn't go to Casa Maria armed for the same reason.
In addition, I couldn't have a loaded weapon on any of the street outlined in the attached map from the Milwaukee Police Department because of the presence of schools.
I haven't actually sent this yet but this is the direction I was thinking. If each of us could personalize where we would not be able to carry if they didn't touch the GFSZ, I think they will slowly see the light.
What do you all think?
