I wish you would have said,
Truly in retrospect, the most difficult part about doing these things (interviews/debate/panel discussion) is that you listen back and there are so many things you would like to say having the time to review and dwell on it.
First before you get the chance to rebut a comment by the chief, the moderators asks another question, so you want to answer the question asked, then go back and rebut a previous comment. Its nearly impossible to say all you could say and want to say.
The real question I would like to ask the chief. Is that he admits that open-carry is legal and its not "automatic" disorderly conduct.
He suggested off camera that their officers saw our members carrying down state street last Saturday and there was NO contact.
SO that begs the question of the chief "please explain what our members did AND what other members can "not" do to avoid getting charged with DC."
Its NOT right to make this big ambiguous "case by case" claim and "totality of the circumstance" comments and not explain precisely what our members did.
With respect to the law abiding people of Wisconsin who have a constitutional right to carry a sidearm, the Chief has an OBLIGATION to follow the law and let people know what to expect.
He can't leave it "case by case" he can't say "take your chances guys, we might arrest you we might not" Thats a mockery of constitutional rights.
The people of Madison deserve better.
