Podcast - Concealed Wisconsin

Andy of the Concealed Wisconsin Podcast traveled down to beautiful Hudson, WI to listen to speakers, mingle with fellow 2nd Amendment supporters, and enjoy a couple of hours of openly carrying a firearm just because it is my constitutional right to do so.

In just 10 days, we will officially become the 49th State in the Union to allow Law Abiding Citizens to protect themselves, their families, and others with a concealed weapon.  Although this law isn’t perfect, it is said to be one of the better ones in the country.  We have a lot to be proud of in Wisconsin and a lot to protect.

As you listen to the interviews, you’ll hear some talk about guns, others the constitution, and other politics.  In reality, they all go together pretty naturally.  November 2012 is approaching quickly and now more than ever we have to be working hard to protect our rights and those who have fought so hard to pass them for us.

We’re working hard on new content, now that the law is close to becoming active.  We’ll be following the DOJ’s releases of information and passing the important stuff on to you.

Since the Wisconsin Senate passed SB-93 on June 14, 2011, there have been questions and answers floating around the internet regarding the contents of the now signed law called Act 35.

Unfortunately, many of the answers are not accurate and the information come packaged in the form of legalizing instead of plain English.  At Concealed Wisconsin was trying to get answers to your questions and post them in a user-friendly way that you can understand and you can share with your friends.

We still encourage you to read the law yourself and get any legal advice from an attorney (which we are not!) before strapping on a firearm.

The post 003 Concealed Wisconsin – Wisconsin Concealed Carry Law – Important Information & FAQ first appeared on Concealed Wisconsin.

(Sorry for the audio glitch during Q&A – I was editing live to get this out and it picked up the feed from my computer and mixed it with the live Q&A session)

On Friday, July 8, 2011, the Governor of the State of Wisconsin signed the Wisconsin Personal Protection Act, or Concealed Carry, into law.  The law will not take effect until November 1, 2011 after the permitting process is activated.

Before Law Abiding citizens can carry concealed in Wisconsin, the need to apply for the permit, get a background check, and obtain mandatory training or have existing training.  This doesn’t affect Open Carry, which is legal in Wisconsin now.

NRA Speech before the signing

With much fanfare, the Governor came out like a hero for Gun Rights Activists, but many ‘constitutionally minded gun owners feel like the Governor may have tossed them under the bus.  After initially stating he’d support Constitutional Carry if it got to his desk, he virtually assured it wouldn’t make it that far or even get a vote when he came out against it during an interview with the media.

Regardless of how you feel, there are a lot of law-abiding citizens who are happy to finally have a signed law allowing them to protect themselves, their families, and others with something other than a call to 911.   It’s been said, “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”  This law allows law-abiding citizens to carry firearms legally – either concealed or openly; as well as other non-lethal weapons too.

As law-abiding citizens, we appreciate our law enforcement officers and think that they do a great job, but we realize that they can not be everywhere at all times.  With a concealed carry law in Wisconsin, we have another option to protect ourselves from criminals.

With a heavy hint of sarcasm, the liberal lady asked me, “Why do you carry a gun?”  Without a pause or a blink I said, “Because a cop is too heavy.” and walked away.

Governor Walker Signing the Wisconsin Personal Protection Act

In talking with a number of Constitutional 2nd Amendment activists, they don’t believe Constitutional Carry is a moot issue.  They intend to continue to press for it and like other states, get rid of the permit requirements in the future.

Concealed Wisconsin would like to know what you think.  Would you prefer a permitting system or Constitutional Carry?
