So, a lawful gun owner lawfully carrying a gun openly, who happens to have his jacket cover the gun (a fashion faux-pax at worst) becomes unable to posses guns any more.

Yes that is exactly what this law would do! I had a friend who was charged with 'Attempting to posess a concealed weapon' for having his gun in his car. He would lose his right to have guns under this law.

Boy, that's a stretch! How can you "attempt" to conceal a weapon? Either it's concealed or it isn't. It's not like attempted murder where you could miss a vital spot.

Sounds like the lunatics are running the asylum.

In Wisconsin we're protected by a state law and constitutional amendment that prevents local ordinance from being more restrictive than the state. While engaging in this battle and letter writing campaign, encourage everybody to include their state representatives and senators, encouraging state legislation or amendment. Our state constitutional amendment really got legs when they were talking this kind of nonsense in Milwaukee and the People's Republik of Madison. It passed in referendum by 70+%. The rural hunting tradition and the upholders of the constitution won handily. Best of luck.
