Concealed Carry In Minnesota

It's only a matter of time before the Wisconsin legislature passes some kind concealed carry legislation. Verlyn Klinkenborg's piece in the New York Times describes what happened to another so-called "progressive" state--Minnesota--after the law went into effect. One disturbing part of the Minnesota law is that it does not allow a member of the public access to names of individuals in their community who have applied for a permit. The next time a concealed carry bill gets discussed in the Wisconsin legislature we need to insist on the public's right to know who is carrying a gun in their neighborhood.
