Reply #5: I often carry in a grocery store ...

[spin]

Why should I leave my firearm in the car when I'm inside the store. It might get stolen.

Also, I have to walk from the car to the store and back. The store may be safe, but the parking lot is another matter.

But then in Florida I can legally carry concealed as I have a permit. All you ever would see is a polite older man with a bad limp. You would never know that I am carrying a .38 snub nosed revolver in my front pants pocket. Therefore, you would not "freak out".

Perhaps Wisconsin should allow concealed carry.

It is now 2010, and Wisconsin is one of only two states that completely prohibits anyone but police officers and sheriffs' deputies from carrying concealed weapons for self defense.

Our anti-gun opponents, led by Governor Jim Doyle, argue that Wisconsin has a relatively low crime rate compared to other states. Tell that to the 12,000+ victims of murder, attempted murder, rape, robbery, assault and other violent crimes that happen every year in our state.

With 48 other states recognizing the right of citizens to bear arms for personal defense, we believe that it's an insult to the citizens of Wisconsin to be denied their constitutional right to personal safety and security.
