Give the public access to concealed carry data (barf alert)

In a recent meeting with the Journal Sentinel Editorial Board and reporters and editors, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett noted that shooting incidents in Milwaukee have been rising every year since the concealed carry law was passed in 2011.

Fellow columnist Christian Schneider wrote in the Journal Sentinel's April 5 Crossroads section: "Yet nearly four years later, nearly 250,000 concealed carry licenses have been issued, and one would be hard-pressed to notice any difference in the state," at least in terms of crime statistics for violent crimes and murders.

I have no reason to doubt either statement, but the fact is that no one has any idea how they relate to the concealed carry law or its effect on Wisconsin, as the mayor and Police Chief Edward Flynn have rightly criticized. No one can discern the relationship between concealed carry and the tragic spike in Milwaukee's homicides this year or the low number of homicides last year. The public does not know, and is not allowed to know.

That's because the law was written to deny public access to virtually any data regarding concealed carry permits. And that needs to change.

Hey Barrett, how about looking at the stats from when you became mayor? The crime rate has been going up ever since that date.

How about car jackings that have skyrocketed since your “no chase” policy?

Before you became mayor we didn’t have so many little kids being shot on swing sets or on their grandfather’s lap.

If you want those numbers to drop how about getting the local DA to prosecute the criminals? Oh, wait, he’s too busy persecuting Republicans.

“Shooting incidents”

Detroit has the highest justifiable homicide rate in the country and its a good thing.

Give the public access to Mayor Tom Barrett’s address, telephone #, email username, children’s names & where they go to school, & google earth image of his house.

After all, it’s for the exact same purpose, IF you get my drift.

CCW permit holders’ addresses make SWATing them so much easier.

Why should the sociopath premeditated killer of my child who is now out of prison have access to the fact I CCW, I'm his #1 target.

The COMMIE APPEAL of Memphis posted the link to the CCW data base in TN. I now boycott them. Just as I boycott McD's anti 2nd Amendment tripe.
