Gov. Scott Walker's administration is barring openly carrying guns into state buildings, even for people with valid concealed carry permits.

The Republican governor's administration is also declining to say how many state employees have told their bosses that they'll be bringing concealed guns to work after the administration decided last month to allow that for valid permit holders.

The new policies all came in response to the state's new concealed carry law, which on Nov. 1 made Wisconsin the 49th state in the nation to let citizens carry hidden weapons.

"As a matter of policy, open carry will not be allowed in state buildings, thus any person openly carrying a weapon in a state building will be asked to leave," Department of Administration spokesman Tim Lundquist said in an email.

1. How did that idiot manage to decree a reasonable rule?

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. ;-)

3. I'd say he is.

I have never been able to understand the difference a thin piece of cloth makes to ones' frame of mind (both carrier and observer).

Walker is a dick.

4. Just means the arrogant ass knows he has pushed too many too far....

Why anyone would want guns in government buildings is beyond me, but I'm guessing this "pro-gun" hypocrit has finally had a "come to geebus" moment with regard to his own safety and the lunacy of "guns, guns, guns" and more guns EVERYWHERE.

But, feel free to push that limit, if you are so otherwise convinced....

5. So you're saying you don't agree with his barring OC of firearms?

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Well, imagine that.

No show and tell in the cheesehead state.:cry:

[Fair Witness]

7. He's a hypocrite and a mo-ran (sic) and you agree with him completely.

Fascinating.

8. If you have a concealed carry option in your state, you don't need

concealed carry. The only reason people were open carrying was because they had no concealed carry option.

Moron.

12. Wow! That's the second time you've agreed with Walker.

On the same side as Walker again, and all those right wing web site posts.

Nice friends you have Jpak.

[beevul]

13. Just more GOP/NRA douchebaggery, right?

Oh, you AGREE with it in this case.



Nevermind...

Further proof that the divide in this forum has nothing to do with left vs right, and is a simple matter of pro vs anti, where rights of the people relating to firearms are concerned.
