More idiocy from Flynn:

http://eye-on-wisconsin.blogspot.com/2011/10/where-are-wisconsins-concealed-carry.html

Last week Milwaukee’s Shepherd Express ran a story about the new concealed carry law. In that story they reported several concerns that Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn had concerning it. He said that thousands of career criminals who have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors would qualify for a concealed carry permit because they are not convicted felons. They can carry a hidden handgun even though they are a literal menace to public safety. Flynn also said that almost half of those convicted of homicides in 2011 would have been eligible for concealed weapons permits because they had not been convicted of a felony prior to committing murder. For the same reason he further said that about 75% of convicted robbers could get a permit at the time of their crime.


So using Flynn’s “logic,” we all should be denied permits because we might commit a crime in the future. That, in a nutshell, sums up the idiot chief of police mindset rampant in so many Dem-run cities.

Gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.
