Would you be so kind as to share the name of that Town and if possible the name of the Chief who actually said it?
I think it might be kind of cool to own a small town in Wisconsin and have it's former Police Chief clean my pool and mow my lawn.
Thanks in advance.

I wish I could remember. It was someplace in the Milwaukee radio listening area. Checking out the online Milwaukee Journal Sentinel might work. Or look for the Milwaukee area TV news websites, they have Fox Channel 6, Channel 12 is ABC. WISN am1130 also has a website and they are the ones I heard this report from several times today. It should be on the news portion of their website. This stunning news was first reported today. I was so gobsmacked, that they said they’d “take down” a law abiding open carrying citizen. I was in minor shock and the name of the town did not register. Other places are saying they will disregard what the WI Atty. General said. That is also unlawful and stupid. Oh wait, we’re talking liberals here. Stupid is as stupid does!
I found the webpage for the Milw. paper and here is the link for the article:

Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn said “My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it.”
“Maybe I’ll end up with a protest of cowboys. In the meantime, I’ve got serious offenders with access to handguns. It’s irresponsible to send a message to them that if they just carry it openly no one can bother them.”
As the saying goes: You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.
