Wisconsin and Illinois are the only 2 states without any provision to allow law abiding people to carry a gun for self defense. It seems to me that it is time for the residents of those to states to take a long hard look at whether they want to keep those victim-disarming laws on the books.

Wisconsin allows open carry. Don't know about at the Wisconsin State Fair however.

armed or not....sometimes a man just has to wade in...it sucks and you can get effed up or worse

but would you rather just stand there while a woman is beat to death or raped etc.

not many old school men would want to live with that..emascualted young professional boys today..who knows?

but...sometimes women are crazier than all hell

outside a Fridays in Jackson MS in 1980 I saw a dude beating the snot out of woman in the parking lot...closed fist even....i pulled over and jumped out...my woman yelling at me not to ..(they always do that at fight time) and I pulled him off her and he spun and clocked me and we rolled around and next thing you know the woman is whacking me too...lol....i pushed them off me and got up a bit bloodied and bee stinged and walked back to my car and told them they deserved it each other.

my gal of course just grinned telling me I told you so over and over

i bet the fighting couple probably found a dark spot in their car and had great sex on the spot...all fired up like they both where

so there...who knows

but this mayor who is probably a lib did the right thing in my view..armed or not

i have not had the pleasure of pistol every fight I’ve been in...and a good thing when younger or I mighta shot someone when just a good ass shupping woulda sufficed

Akido, everyone should learn a bit.

Most attackers are stupid and clumsy.

Akido is like an effect ballet in which you can easily dance around such fools grab their weapons and dispose same with same.

Now just plain that's fun!

The mayor of a major US city is beaten with a lead pipe, and they don’t DESCRIBE the suspect....?

Lesson 1: Bring a gun to a pipe fight.

Another lesson to be learned is that if the criminal0justice system had put this guy in jail the first time he committed a crime and thrown away the key instead of coddling the. criminal element as they generally do then this would not have happened.

I am completely in agreement with the major premise of your post. However, I don’t think you serve your argument well by alleging that the police fail to show up in time due to “negligence”. To a man and woman, the law enforcement officers I know would like to be at the scene before a violent event occurs. You mentioned also a lack of resources. I’d posit to you that this is indeed the reason police don’t show up “on time”. When seconds count, they can be there in a few minutes.

You’re absolutely right about Wisconsin and Illinois being States which guarantee, by law, a criminal’s right to have a selection of unarmed prospective victims.

If even one tenth of one percent of the population of law-abiding citizens were able to carry concealed, the criminal’s odds of encountering an armed citizen would serve as a deterrent. Unfortunately, when some nut-job takes after a woman with a metal pipe in full public view, this moron hasn’t considered consequences.

But for the coward who now preys on an unarmed populace, reducing his odds of success will reduce his willingness to take the risk that he now deems acceptable. By law, the only armed people he’s now likely to encounter are cops and other criminals.

This state of affairs needs to be changed.

A liberal is nothing more than a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet. It’ll be interesting to hear from Hizzonner d’ Mayor on this one!!!!
