Wisconsin Carry
Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- Listen to the following clip that the anti-gun group W.A.V.E. is using in their attack on your right to carry.
The video link above is Milwaukee “conservative” radio talk show hosts Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner discussing the concealed carry legislation.
Milwaukee “conservative” radio talk show hosts Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner think people who support Constitutional Carry are “The kook fringe”
How nice of supposedly “conservative” radio show hosts to give the anti’s talking points.
Charlie calls constitutional carry “complicated” (at the 45 second mark)…
Complicated???? Really? The constitutional carry bill is 19 pages. It has NO fiscal impact. The shall-issue permit bill is 60 pages and will cost MILLIONS. Which is complicated???
LISTEN to Jeff Wagner at the 55 second mark stumble over admitting that “registration” is a bad word, but “permitting” is better?
Contact Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner. POLITELY share with them a little about yourself, an average law-abiding United Sates resident who doesn’t want to have to pay a tax and register with the government to be able to carry discreetly.

Email Tom Land, program director and let him know that you don’t appreciate radio talk show hosts referring to law-abiding Wisconsinites as “kook fringe”.

Email the advertising sales manager Tom Sheridan: tsheridan@620wtmj.com and let him know that Wisconsin Carry and the USCCA chose this past week to run our 2-week series of ads on WISN radio instead of WTMJ in part because of comments like Charlie and Jeff’s.
Since when did wanting smaller government and fewer taxes become “Kook fringe?”
Since when did not wanting meaningless permits and registration (its a felony for felons to carry and police, using their radio, can determine in SECONDS during a stop if a person who is carry is legal to do so) become “kook fringe”
Since when did embracing personal accountability VOLUNTARY training and knowing that people either already have or will seek training out of self-preservation (not shooting themselves handling their gun AND staying out of jail because using your gun unlawfully will get you a quick trip to jail) and government training mandates are not effective, become kook fringe?
EVEN the NRA is pushing AGAINST training mandates. Are their 100,000+ members in Wisconsin the “kook fringe”?
In 2010 the Wisconsin GOP changed their party platform at the state convention to support right to carry concealed WITHOUT a permit. Are they all “kook fringe”
The massive Wisconsin Tea-Party coalition and all of its 100+ independent member groups support constitutional carry. Are they and the 10′s of thousands of law-abiding everyday folks they consist of all “kook fringe”?
It appears there is an out-of-touch “kook fringe” in this story, but its the radio talk show hosts who sit on their perch behind microphones, pretend to be conservatives and talk down to the rest of us.

About:
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.
