Van Hollen sides with safety (Wisconsin barf alert)

What a bunch of liberals those Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature are.

And now they're forcing Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to be, in his own words, "very liberal," too.

We're talking, of course, about the GOP's anything-goes approach to allowing concealed guns in Wisconsin.

You want to carry a hidden gun? No problem. Just send in for a permit and decide for yourself how much — if any — training you need.

That's the liberal attitude of lawmakers such as Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford, and Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend. They balked at the more conservative approach of Van Hollen this week, reversing Van Hollen's reasonable rules for citizens seeking concealed-carry permits.

Ridiculous! Van Hollen is the RINO who caved to the Dems on this. Grothman is the true conservative.

The AG grabbed permit #1. So how much training did HE have? Doesn't matter. He wants to act outside of the law. The gungrabbers, bedwetters and headless chickens will eventually fade away. Van Hollen needs to be primaried.

I guess a hidden gun sounds much more diabolical than concealed.

No problem. Just send in for a permit and decide for yourself how much — if any — training you need.

Having had my CCW for many, many years it's a HUGE responsibility and you had better take measures to ensure you know when & where you can use it. And CCW holders are, by & large, more law abiding than non-CCW holders and can be counted on to get the proper training w/o being told.

—yep—”hidden gun” is the buzzword for both the Madison and Milwaukee fishwraps-—

[Still Thinking]

Yeah, Wisconsin is so “SPECIAL” that what works in other states would NEVER work there. Statist oxygen thieves.

“What a bunch of liberals those Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature are.”

Is this supposed to be witty?

[goldstategop]

I love how liberals discover the word “liberal” is a pejorative when it comes to enforcing the Second Amendment.

They’re so predictable.

[goldstategop]

The MSM has discovered the first liberals to hate.

They’ve made history!

Wisconsin Politics Ping List Ping!

"If any"?? You clowns at madison.com can't read the law?

It REQUIRES training, you completely and utter morons! It simply doesn't say how much!
