What good is a CCW law if they hang so many restrictions on the carry that you can be stripped of the permit for any silly violation?

I almost am for no bill and let the WI Sup Ct say the WI constitution allows self-defense, including going about armed.

"I almost am for no bill and let the WI Sup Ct say the WI constitution allows self-defense, including going about armed."

Which other states went that route? I know we're in the last four to have CC, but I don't know how the other states went about it.

See my #17. Take what you can get, go back for more later. Salami-slice the antis, just like they did to us.

You'll notice that no states have rescinded their carry laws, and many have gotten more "liberal" (which is to say, permissive). When confronted by years of facts, plus a growing number of regular shooters, the legislatures have no choice but to do this.

Regarding carrying w/o a license (other than a piece of parchment): while it sounds great in theory, I'd rather not be the test case. You get arrested, and have the pleasure of paying a defense lawyer tens of thousands of dollars for a result that is far from certain. Theoretically, you are 100% correct. However, we gun owners will sway more of the "I don't care/know anything about this" crowd to our side by playing by the rules (and, as is the case with carry legislation, by actually *making* the rules over time).

Just my $0.02.
