Wisconsin School Grounds Carry Bill ~ UPDATE
(Before It's News)
Wisconsin -(AmmoLand.com)- There is a LOT of support out there for the School Grounds carry bill.
It is currently a felony if you drop off or pick up your kids from school while armed. EVEN though Federal law allows CCL holders to go on school grounds, Wisconsin’s own Gun Free School Zone law was passed when we didn’t have concealed carry so it never included that exception. That’s a shame.
This law has made law-abiding citizens FELONS. Check out the following media report about a law-abiding grandfather and CCL holder who is now a convicted felon, barred from having a gun, because he went to his grandson’s school and didn’t realize you have to disarm before you cross the invisible line:
This is especially infuriating knowing that we have repeat criminals in Milwaukee who commit FELONY car theft and the courts plea-bargain it down to MISDEMEANOR “operating without owners consent”. Criminals get special treatment and law-abiding citizens get the BOOK thrown at them. If this doesn’t make you angry it should.
NOW we have word that the bill introduced by Senator Mary Lazich, may not get a vote in the ASSEMBLY controlled by Robin Vos.
PLEASE call your legislators and ask them to support the “school grounds carry bill”. Ask them if they will co-sponsor/co-author the bill. IF YOU GET A RESPONSE email me and let me know. We are keeping track of legislators positions.

MORE IMPORTANTLY. Robin Vos is the SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY. In a news report the other night he indicated he probably wasn’t going to give the bill a vote in the assembly.
Call and email ROBIN VOS and ask him to bring the “School Grounds Carry Bill” for a vote IF (After) it passes the senate.
Carry On,

About Wisconsin Carry, Inc.:
Wisconsin Carry, Inc. is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the preservation and reclamation of the rights of law-abiding Wisconsin residents to carry in the manner of their choosing. We believe that “open carry” and “concealed carry” are choices to be made by law-abiding citizens based on their situation and preference. Wisconsin Carry, like many gun-rights organizations in Wisconsin, is investing a great deal of resources to get Wisconsin law changed to allow concealed carry this next legislative session by proposing Constitutional Carry. Wisconsin Carry, Inc. will continue to use legal recourse to deter unlawful treatment of law-abiding Wisconsin residents who currently exercise their right to open carry, and soon will exercise their right to concealed carry in Wisconsin.

the wisconsin law is in contradiction to the federal constitution and the 2nd amendment.. there aren’t any exculpatory clauses in the 2nd amendment that would abrogate the right to self defense IF you are in a particular area, for any reason!
