Wisconsin - nice.

[mainjet]

I went up to my house in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin this last week and my wife and I went into the Forest Lake Country store where we were greeted with this welcome sign



It was just a short time ago that I couldn't carry in Wisconsin. To me it's just a feel good story. Carry on.

Yea, I love it too. I have been going up there since I was a kid. My best friends family would take me up there every year with them and I just fell in love with the place from the first time I went there.

This gives me hope for carry in this country.

Yes, but for every Wisconsin there is a California. And California has more reps in congress and more electoral votes.

I know, we're in the minority. Carry is my single issue thing in politics

I wonder what they have against open carry?

Don't you know that some 6 year old girl will take your gun and shoot someone !!!!

Not sure, but they probably have a law against it.

You have it all wrong. A 5 year old will do that, not a 6 year old!

Wisconsin does not yet have an open carry law. So I am sure when they made the sign they decided to reference the currently legal way to carry.

I prefer to give them thumbs up for having the guts to make a sign like this and hang it on their store. There are plenty of places that 1. would not have the guts and 2. Would not want people carrying in their store.

It was only a short time ago that I was not legally allowed to carry in the state of Wisconsin. I welcome them to this side and I have hopes for Illinois that over time they will loosen up as well.

Not sure where you got your info, but Wisconsin has never prohibited open carry that I'm aware of.

Of course, they did prohibit concealed carry until just recently.

My question was somewhat tongue in cheek - I'm also glad that they support carry and doubt that they meant to imply that concealment was required to carry in their establishment.

Minority? Maybe as % of population, but according the maps most states allow carry of some sort

I meant as a % of the nation, I understand all states allow carry with most of them being shall issue.

I open carry in WI all the time, they are generally ok with it in most areas. I now live in WI, so as a resident I've got to get their CCW permit since my license is now in state.

Wisconsin is a great state. Too bad that they got saddled with Madison and Milwaukee.

One bad thing about Wisconsin is that unless you're in your home, you have a duty to retreat.
