A majority of Wisconsinites don't want concealed carry, yet the small minority of paranoid conservatives gun hobbyists, now have a way of endangering all of us. Great! Isn't that unconstitutional? Now my right to feel safe and secure in my own country has been taken away by psychos.
Here's the final look at the bill:
jsonline: Republicans are rallying around a bill that would allow people to get permits to carry concealed weapons if they went through training, after a proposal that would have allowed them to carry hidden guns without permits stirred controversy:
Permits would cost a maximum of $50 and be good for five years. To get one, people would have to offer proof they have passed a course on firearms training, firearms safety or hunter safety.
Whenever they carried concealed weapons, they would have to have their permit and photo ID with them. If they did not, they could be fined $25, though the fee would be waived if they presented their permit and ID within 48 hours.
The database that includes permit holders would not be public record.
People with permits from other states could carry concealed weapons in Wisconsin as long as their home state also required training and background checks.
Guns would be banned from law enforcement offices, prisons, jails, courthouses, secure mental health facilities, schools, and the areas of airports past security checkpoints. Private businesses could post signs banning guns; similar postings could be put up in city halls, the Capitol and other public buildings.
Guns would be allowed in all city and state parks, an issue that raised concerns among some opponents of the bill.
Permit holders could carry guns in taverns and other places that sell alcohol, provided they were not drinking … people would be able to drink in some parks while carrying guns.
Those who got permits would also be able to carry Tasers and other electric weapons, which are banned under current law.
Democrats said it would make city streets more dangerous.
