Around the Web: WI Gun Policy
By Tino Kaltsas • Apr 21st, 2009 • Category: PdCToday Life, Tino KaltsasAround the Web takes a look at some of the other interesting news stories being reported on other websites.
Wisconsin gun policy and law has been making headlines recently, starting with the February ruling affirming the right of Wisconsin citizens to “open carry” a firearm. Earlier this month, another lawsuit was filed challenging the state’s policy of arresting people openly carrying handguns in public and charging them with disorderly conduct.
Today Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said in a memo ”that mere open carry of a firearm, absent additional facts and circumstances, should not result in a disorderly conduct charge.” Milwaukee’s police chief has told his officers ignore the memo.
Additional information on Wisconsin gun laws can be found at the Wisconsin State Law Library.
