Chances are, I’m going to have to move to Wisconsin soon. Crap. Apparently they tried to prosecute a store owner who kept a loaded firearm on his person in the store. The state supreme court had to state that it was ok for a store or home owner to keep a loaded weapon on themselves to defend their store or home... pretty sad when they have to actually spell out the right to defend yourself on your own property. Guess I’ll be joining one of the local gun groups to push for changes.

Ironically, in Wisconsin it's "concealed carry" that's illegal. You can "open carry" legally, although you might find youself in trouble anyway if some jerk cop thought you were brandishing in some way...
