My tagline sez it all.

though I do prefer concealed carry. I believe both to be not only constitutional but pretty much required by the constitution.

There is a disturbing subset of hunters and shooters who *want* the law to be run by a “good old boy” network much like it was done in the South after Reconstruction and before the Civil Rights movement. They want laws in place that they are perfectly happy to ignore, depending on the “good old boys” to keep them out of trouble by giving them a $20 fine, or dropped charges while people who are not in their club get their $500 pistol confiscated and stay in jail for the weekend until the judge is available.

I find the attitude of these people to be short sighted and foolish. Relying on the “good old boys” is problematic at best. In many urban centers, the “good old boys” are thuggish demagogues who cherish the ability to lord it over white suburbanites.

I think Jarosh believes his political connections make him invulnerable. Wisconsin is not like Chicago, where the politicians can carry and the peasants cannot. Wake up, Alderman Jarosh. The rights you are destroying are your own.
