Concealed carry approved in Wisconsin

Yesterday Gov. Scott Walker signed the concealed carry bill into law in Wisconsin. The law takes effect on November 1.

There are limited Gun Free Zones. According to UPI.com "Concealed weapons will not be allowed in law enforcement agencies, prisons and jails, secure mental-health facilities, courthouses and the secure areas of airports. Government buildings can ban them, but they must be allowed in public parks and other public open areas, including the Statehouse grounds."

Legislators and the Governor obviously trust the People of Wisconsin. Wisconsin joins 48 other states in allowing law-abiding citizens to protect themselves outside their homes.
