Firearms Fuel Controversy in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is one of only three states that completely prohibits the carrying of concealed handguns. It's a law resident Nik Clark abides by. Clark says he carries his gun everywhere, including the grocery store and around the house. (March 11)

If I saw this guy walking down the street, I wouldn't bat an eye. He's clean cut, carries himself in a normal manner. If anything, I would think he was a plain clothes cop. If you don't like it you may want to take another look at the country you live in. It's legal, people are going to do it, and that's the way it is.

Law abiding citizens carrying for defense is the answer to criminals carrying for assault. It's not the perfect answer but as is so blatantly obvious we do not live in a perfect world. As for my children, what am I teaching them, that their life is precious and it is worth defending.

@marksmith46 ...and I must point out the INVALIDITY of the liberal propaganda "what if's".

Like I said I hope you don't learn the hard way about Reality and become the victim of a violent crime. It would be better for you to seek LOGIC and Common Sense now than to risk such, but I doubt it.

Yes your post was 2 weeks old, but I couldn't resist pointing out the idiocy of the "What if" commentary you posted.

@marksmith46 Legal carriers have committed no crimes. They are not mental cases. They have had local, state, and Federal background checks.

A criminal does not open carry as I said. A criminal conceals his weapon until he strikes. What if your imaginary "open carry" criminal was walked up to by the police and asked for his Permit? What if this? What if that? What if shoved up your arse with a whiffle ball bat?

I'm tired of the WHAT IF'S of anti-gun imbeciles.

Such an asinine attempt at whining away the 2nd Amendment. It's the law. Get over it. If you don't wish to defend yourself DON'T...maybe you won't learn the hard way.

Your little creation here is a hypothetical liberal fiction that comes no where near reality. I see why you weren't replied to originally. This response is so absurd. You setup the situation and presume to know what's going to happen with two imaginary people and imaginary police.

Criminals DO NOT open carry.

@frank44145 okay you think about this. Robbery. You draw a gun on the bad guy. The clerk has already hit the panic button. Cops arrive. You're behind a shelf. Bad guy is behind another shelf. WTF do the cops do now? Shoot you both and ask questions later, that's what. Likewise this: you carry an open gun. SO DOES THE BAD GUY. Clerk waits on you. Clerk waits on bad guy too. Bad guy shoots clerk because clerk thought he had nothing to be afraid of. YOU are too late.

@marrob357 Seriously. Myself, I weigh like 150 lbs. I'd look ridiculous with a gun. This guy, I truly believe, carries a gun just because it makes him look like even more of a douchebag. OOPS! I meant "tough guy". lol

They allow open carry in Pa. Now the problem is most of the cops in Philadelphia think this illegal. They confiscate guns all of the time.

So this woman hasn't made the association between the lower crime in her area and the ability to carry?!?!?

[marrob357]

Nick Clark is a big PUSSIE!!! Lookat the size of this guy. Hey Clark, chances are you won't be a victim.

@2wheels88 That's the big problem. Legally I can not carry into a store to protect myself. Maybe all of the victims in the robberies should start suing the stores for failing to provide a safe store.

@frank44145 Gee i wonder if robbers are going to respect those signs?
