I hope I’m never in that position. However, in Wisconsin, I can’t “carry” so much as useful pepper spray or a roll of dimes in the end of a sock. Grrrrrr!

(WI & IL suck when it comes to gun rights.)

I have been in Wisconsin the past two weeks, caring for my elderly mother. I am never far from a firearm. I carry here most of the time.

It is legal to carry in Wisconsin, if you carry openly. It takes a good bit of intestinal fortitude in the urban areas, but I do it routinely here in rural Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has a strong right to keep and bear arms, recent constitutional amendment, and a split Supreme Court that has only upheld it the bare minimum so far. The recent Supreme Court election should change that for the better. The situation is ripe for another test case.
