The certification you speak of is not what I meant. A person can be certified in any number of things. I for example am certified as a qualified computer engineer and have a certificate to show it. The certification I spoke of is mearly a certificate produced by the state of Wisconsin that the holder is lawfully allowed to possess and carry a firearm. It would be no more than words to that effect and contain an indication that a background check has been performed. Carry in most other states, open or concealed, by a non-resident would likely not be honored without such evidence. It is not an infringement of any rights. In fact it is a type of validation that a person has the right to exercise the right to keep and bear arms in Wisconsin. I'm not talking about any mandatory training, weapon profieciency or permits. I'm talking only about a certification from the state that a person is in good standing and may lawfully carry a firearm. Perhaps you are too close to the LEO certification process to comprehend that of which I speak.
If we are successful in getting 941.23 repealed so that we have true choice of carry under the umbrella of Art I section 25 then it is my opinion we will need some document attesting to that right, and to our character before firearm carry reciprocity will be honored with Wisconsin by most other states.
Wouldn't this be nothing more than Registration?
Registration is the first step towards Confiscation.
I guess my point is this, If you drive in any other state as long as you have a drivers license you are OK, even though many states have different laws concerning traffic. Your license is still accepted without question.
Same with walking down the street you have the right to do so. Without question.
You also have the right to bear arms... Why should we have to be certified, registered or show proof? It is then no different then handing over your ID every time an LEO demands it. The only way to make change is to just do it and with that said as long as we keep giving in and accepting more permits, which automatically come with fees, we will never be rid of them. If every state in the country would understand this the tax payers would be a whole lot better off for it.
