County Board Chairman James Dwyer of Menomonee Falls"Dwyer said he opposes permitting concealed weapons because he believes it creates too much potential for increased gun violence. "The principle of it, I think, is a problem," he said."

The fundamental principle involved is that citizens have the right to choose an effective means of defense against criminal attacks that place the citizen in harms way. Chairman Dwyer has a problem with this principle. He should be voted out of office.

Dwyer's an old-time Leftist, left over from the New Deal and only a little west of his ideological home, Milwaukee.

But who runs against him?

"Waukesha County District Attorney Paul Bucher said he opposes changing the law. Bucher said he is most concerned that the proposed legislation would allow concealed weapons in vehicles, putting police officers at risk whenever they make a traffic stop."

The proposed law changes nothing. Citizens aren't authorized to attack the police by this legislation. The folks that do have the intent to do so, do not get permits to carry weapons. They just carry them to challenge police action. Since Bucher went through several levels of higher education, I have to conclude that he knows this and his statement is a deception to scare the sheep.
