Gutless, feckless Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature have again caved to Governor Doyle. There is absolutely no need for any police officers to run background checks on concealed-carry permit holders, and will do nothing in terms of combating crime.

I'm actually hoping that Doyle vetoes this bill.

This new bill must be the result of all those traffic cops recently gunned down by permit holders in those dozens of other states which permit CCW. There has been quite a spate of those Wild West Shootouts lately...

What? There haven't been any shootings!!?? Mercy me, what is a Liberal Looking For A Cause to do?? Oh, I know,... pass some more laws to prevent any more cop killings from not happening!

And how exactly is it a bad thing that the police officer pulling your over knows that there is a good chance there is a gun in the car? He probably isn't pulling you over for being a 'law abiding citizen' in the first place. Ususally it's for a traffic infraction or possible even a crime. They have a right to know what to expect when they walk up to the window.

I hope he vetoes it too. That way Wisconsin can serve as a bad example like Illinois and Washington D.C. when crime continues to rise.

McDonald’s worker suspended for shooting at robber
By The Associated Press
December 30, 2005

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — A McDonald’s maintenance worker who pulled out his gun and fired two shots at a woman who was robbing another employee at gunpoint has been suspended from his job.

While police officials say Clifton Brown Jr. violated no laws last week when he fired the shots shortly after the restaurant’s midnight closing, the franchise owner said Brown violated a ban on guns at the restaurant.

The shooting happened as Brown and a co-worker were taking out the trash and a woman, who was on foot, put a gun to the back of the second employee. She then robbed the restaurant in the city just north of Louisville, Ky., through the drive-up window, police said.

Brown told police that he pulled his gun out and ordered the fleeing robber to stop. She then raised her own gun and he fired two shots, which apparently missed the woman, before she continued to flee.

City police Detective Keith Whitlow said he was “not overly enthused about untrained individuals engaging in stuff like that,” but that once the robber raised her gun, Brown “was in jeopardy” and had a right to defend himself.

Brown has a permit to carry the handgun, Whitlow said.

Restaurant owner Ron Vanover said Thursday that Brown had been suspended from his job while the shooting was being reviewed. He said he considered Brown’s actions inappropriate.

“I think that’s common sense,” Vanover said. “Money can be replaced; lives cannot.”

Brown could not be located for comment as no home telephone number in the New Albany area was listed in his name.

Ronald McDonald Arrested for Indecent Exposure

The well-known burger spokesman was taken into custody in a city park in Cleveland yesterday after repeatedly urinating in public view. Park officials said the red-and-yellow clad clown lowered his trousers and invited onlookers to "visit the golden arches". McDonald is being held on charges of public indecency, and an unnamed source at the District Attorney's office has suggested that the clown may also face prosecution related to the McDonald's "I'm Loving It" campaign. Further details as they become available.

The ones with permits will be the ones who would give the police the least hassle anyhow.
