Well, looking over Cedarburg and Mequon’s local laws, I found that both have ordinances banning open carry. So, I sent every Common Council Member and the Mayors a letter (about 18). Most looked just like this.
Dear Mequon Common Council Member,
I was just looking over a few of the local Cedarburg regulations, and bumped into Sec. 46-107 (General prohibition (of firearms). This ordinance clearly prohibits the open carry of a firearm.
As I am quite sure by now you are aware, the Wisconsin State Preemption Statute 66.0409 Sub. 2, makes most of Sec.46-107, of the Mequon Village Code, null and void. Wisconsin Statute 66.0409 in part reads “no political subdivision
may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that regulates
the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, keeping,
possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting,
registration or taxation of any firearm or part of a firearm, including
ammunition and reloader components, unless the ordinance or
resolution is the same as or similar to, and no more stringent than,
a state statute.”.
I would like to know if the Mequon Common Council has brought up that its open carry (of a hand gun) restriction, need to be removed from your local regulations?
If the Common Council has not yet discussed this topic, I am asking that you do so at the next meeting.
Thank you very much for your time,
So think any will reply?
