In WI
The prosecutor who wasn’t doing carry cases anymore? His statement is here. And the AG agrees.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

??? So just like that you can carry concealed in WI?

I don’t see anything regarding CC in Van Hollen’s bit, or any mention of what Mr. Fox said the other day regarding certain standing laws. It looks more to me like a reconfirmation of what he said regarding Open Carry last year than anything else.
I really want to hear what he has to say specifically about Mr. Fox’s statement.

Lets just hope this sudden attack of common sense and understanding of the Constitution will spread across the land. . . but I won’t hold my breath. . . .

This is a state I visit about twice per year (traveling through Illinois, giving Chicago a wide berth by taking I-39). So, I’ve got a personal interest in this one since Illinois and Wisconsin make up one huge “gun ban” zone for people wanting to arm in preparation for self-defense.
Outside of the urban enclaves of Madisongrad, Milwaukee, and the Chicago burbs of Wisconsin, this is a solidly conservative state. They work, hunt, fish, and trap. They are as crazy about deer season as they are about the Packers. Gun shops and county ranges abound. Visitors from Chicago drool over the guns for sale in the little town gun stores.
They’ve come close to getting a recognized right to carry but that governor….
I am going to be optimistic and speculate that the AG’s decision signals a willingness in Madison to revise their statutes to comport with Heller and McD. The loony left will be beside themselves, but the more practical Democrat politicians are beginning to perceive that gun control is a loser’s issue.
MJM hopes. Granted, I’m choosing to be optimistic. I may be reading too much into the AG’s announcement.

Fred, from the link:
I hereby declare that this office will no longer accept law enforcement referrals for violations of the following statutes:
Section 167.31, prohibiting uncased or loaded firearms in vehicles;
Section 941.23, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons, including firearms;

Ben, that’s from Mr. Fox’s statement. The article with Van Hollen is actually from the day before Fox released his statement, and Van Hollen has declined to make any comments regarding Fox’s stance (not sure if that’s good or bad.)

Section 941.24, prohibiting the possession of knives that open with a button, or by
gravity, or thrust, or movement.
Heh.

It’s called a bear trap. If you mess up, they have you.

My belief is this is political cover for a DA with a (D) after his name for this November. In WI we have a much stronger RKBA provision than 2A, and case law to back it up; so ask yourselves “why now?”
