Concealed carry law examined

In this amendment https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa2_ssa1_sb93 we get a long list of "gun free" (target rich) areas where we will be assured that the only persons armed are either the police (when seconds count, the police are only minutes away!) or criminals.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/ssa2_sb93 sets up the permitting process, in part.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa1_ssa2_sb93 tells us how much all these new bureaucrats will cost us (estimate!).

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa5_ssa2_sb93 More victim disarmament zones.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa11_ssa2_sb93 specifically says people in domestic violence shelters must be disarmed. Real smart - no law will keep a bad person from entering and doing whatever they want to, now with the knowledge that their victims cannot defend themselves.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa14_ssa2_sb93 Lock up your safety equipment if you are operating a child care facility! Don't want to impede the free-fire zone for the crazy person intent on sending a few kids to Heaven early!

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa15_ssa2_sb93 Polling places are also free-fire zones for criminals.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa18_ssa2_sb93 Adds zoos to the long list of places a criminal may be assured of no armed response to a crime.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/sb93/sa19_ssa2_sb93 Looks like a pastor or priest may specifically allow some people to carry on their property.

It's not perfect, and we've got a lot of work ahead of us to fix the flaws - especially the mandatory licensing if you want to carry concealed, but it's a whole lot better that what we had before. The permit does result in reciprocity with other CCH states, at least, and recognizes most other state's permits.
