So the state statutes say we can carry anywhere with the exception of school zones, places that serve booze, public buildings, etc.
Then state statute 66.0409(2) says no county, city, or town may pass a law that restricts our rights even further.
BUT Milwaukee County has an ordinance that states we cannot carry in county parks. And the city of Greenfield is in the process of adopting an ordinance worded the same, but also adds "parkways, nature areas" etc.
Am I right on these statements? I am asking because I am going to start writing the appropriate politicians, and (J Gleason will be happy to hear) I particularly want to hear what Scott Walker has to say about this county ordinance.
Looking ahead, if needed, I think a lawsuit could be done relatively cheap. The materials facts (the statutes and ordinances) would not be in dispute, and the case would probably be settled by summary judgment. That is pretty much where we lay out our side in briefs, they lay out their side, and the judge decides. We wouldn't have to have the expensive parts of a lawsuit (discovery, depositions, etc.).
Thoughts?
