Thanks.

I'm going to be in Milwaukee visiting some friends next month.

I may just end up owning the Police Chief's house by the time I'm done with the City of Milwaukee.

And any Milwaukee cop who lays a hand on me is going to find him or herself answering an action under 18USC242.

He also served as Mitt Romney's Homeland Security adviser.

Fascists of a feather...

Be aware that Wisconsin passed a “mirror” of the federal school zone gun ban, and says it is illegal to carry a holstered gun within 1000 feet of a school. I do not think that would hold up if taken to the Supreme Court, but it is something to consider.

SCOTUS struck that down with the Lopez Decision.

“SCOTUS struck that down with the Lopez Decision.”

Yes, but that was the Federal version. Also, Bill Clinton extorted the Congress to re-pass another version a year later that claimed that it was Constitutional because the Congress said that it was *interstate commerce*. As far as I know, no prosecutions have been done under the second law, and it has never been challanged.

I don't know if any prosecutions have been done under the Wisconsin law.
