On July 5, 2022, the Kenosha County, Wisconsin, Board of Supervisors voted 14 to 7 to remove the ban on the bearing of arms in most county-owned buildings. Kevin Matheson of the Kenosha County Eye reported on the vote.

A famed Democrat politician once said all politics are local. After the chaos of the riots in Kenosha in 2020 and the national attention brought about by the self-defense trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the Kenosha County Board has overwhelmingly voted in favor of armed self-defense as a human right. From Kenoshacountyeye.com:
In a bi-partisan vote just before midnight on Tuesday night, the Kenosha County Board voted 14 to 7 to allow concealed carry in most county-owned buildings. This includes taxpayers and employees. This measure was sponsored by Board Vice-Chair Erin Decker. Supervisor Yuhas proposed an amendment that passed -it directed employees who choose to carry at work to keep the firearm “on their person” and not in a desk drawer, purse, or an otherwise unattended location. Decker previously told KCE that she proposed the change because she feels that visitors to county buildings and county employees should not be denied the right to protect themselves. The “no guns allowed” signs went up in 2011 at the same time that the City of Kenosha government voted to allow guns in most City-owned buildings. Both City and County governments now have similar policies which Decker said will “eliminate confusion.”
The support for the Constitutional right to bear arms by the Kenosha County Board was affirmed with a second vote minutes after the vote to remove the ban on arms in most County Buildings.

Have they gotten rid of their idiot prosecutor yet?
The Kenosha County District Attorney is an elected position. The election has not happened yet.
That was the first thing I thought of. Not the at practicing best gun safety.
