Wisconsin to become the next Texas???

They will soon be voting for Wisconsonites to carry conciled weapons. I live in Wisconsin and personally I don't think it will work very well here like it did in Texas. Sure any bank robber or bad guy will be able to carry a gun but so can everyone else. Wich means that if you try and shoot someone you had better watch your ass because you will probably have about 20 other guns pointing right back at you.
But people in WI are a bunch of dumb asses. This I do not think would be a very good idea.

omg I can't imagine what will happen after a Packers lose to the Vikings I you cheese heads are aloud to carry guns.

What part of Wisconsin do you live in??

djdelly

I'm just happy to hear you speak like that

yeah it sucks
I'm always against these weapons shitty laws you got over there in the US
It just seems unbelievable to an average european




......waiting for a Megadrive20xx's response anyway

that's why i won't even drive thru texas, every damn red neck has a gun on them. worst idea ever.

I'm in La Crosse at the moment. I was moving to maddison this year.

Goddamit, if they let people carry guns in Wisconsin it's one more state the UN won't be able to invade.

I also live in Wisconsin, and while I am not a dumbass I think I may be in the minority.

We dont need concealed handguns. I guess the idea is that if we are all packing heat then if someone tries something we will all be like a bunch of little John Waynes or Clint Eastwoods. In reality were more likely to have shootings over road rage, minor arguements, and of course alot more accidental shootings.

Im all for the right to bear arms, but concealed handguns is taking it a bit to far. I would be less frightened if you had to have your handgun out in the open. At least then you would know who to be afraid of. Its getting so you wonder if somone is going to shoot you because you wont drive 20 miles over the speedlimt like they do.

I'm fairly sure Minnesota just passed one of these laws.

Since then nearly all businesses have added big signs (by the entrance) that state

"[Business Name] Bans Guns on These Premisis"

I guarentee you the cheeseheads'll have them everywhere.

i personally think we should do away with firearms completely and just go back to the good ol' days of swords, axes, warhammers, etc.

Well gentlemen, now I realise how they'll be putting the holes in all that Swiss cheese they make there...

I think I have some grounds to speak on this topic since Ohio just passed a concealed carry law. Despite what some may assume, I have no real personal [read: direct] investment in the passage of this law. I do not own a firearm and in all likelihood never will. However, I do feel it is certainly within a citizen’s rights to own and carry a firearm if they so choose for personal protection. The “carry it in the open” argument is almost as absurd as giving someone the right to own a weapon while, in the same breath, depriving them the capacity to carry it on their person.

The notion that we often overlook is that the majority of gun laws only restrict the rights of law-abiding individuals. If someone intends to use a firearm to threaten/rob/murder while perfectly aware of the potential ramifications, chances are they won’t be too concerned about a “right to carry” ordinance or lack thereof.

Anticipates the potential argument: “But won’t this law make it more difficult to prevent crime, eliminating a line of defense that police had when they could nab everyone, criminal or not, for carrying a firearm?”

Again, it probably would if the people using the weapon to commit crime actually adhered to laws and standards of conduct to begin with. Though my knowledge of this law is limited, I’m assuming some lengthy period of wait is needed (just as it is for buying a gun...). Not only that, I’m sure background checks and other such scrutiny are applied here in some fashion or another. I’d like to believe they aren’t handing these permits out like dime bags of crack. If they are... well then I’m wrong and yes, it is stupid.

Maybe Bobak has some general knowledge on the implementation of these laws that I don’t...

Yeah, just be thankful you don’t live in England where the crime/murder rate has skyrocketed after banning all firearms. But, then again, I’m sure those were all just... stabbings...
