One last opponent stands, a victory for cheese heads
So the time has finally come! Wisconsin residents can now exercise their right to bear arms, and protect themselves and their families when out and about. That’s right WI has enacted a concealed carry permit program! Amazing!
I wonder how long it will be until IL, the last of the 50 states, takes a similar stance? There is nothing wrong with qualified individuals carrying weapons. Think about it unqualified, evil intended, criminals conceal carry all the time. So law-abiding citizens should have to wait 15 minutes to hours for the police to come? At that point the only thing an officer can do is write up a report.
I would also like to see the day when Maryland switches from “may issue” to “shall issue”. I’m not holding my breath.

I agree… didn’t realize WI may finally change! Is the “may issue” a much more rigorous process with many denials? WA is great in that regard!
“may issue” is better than won’t issue, but worse than “shall issue” (VA is shall issue). In MD it is up to the head of the state police whether or not an individual gets a permit. The restrictions for application are pretty tough too. Unless you’re a pharmacist, lawyer, doctor, or politician you can’t get a permit. The only other exception is persons who make regular large cash deposits.
Haha. Figures.
