I feel unsafer. I will probably obtain a permit. I may decided to carry if I find it now necessary. I feel that carrying a weapon and just owning one, which I have never done before, would be unsafe.

In a matter of seconds your life can come crashing down on you if you shoot and kill or wound another out of anger or stupidity

When you have training,you will know when and how to use a weapon to save lives including your own!

Imagine on July 4th at Reservoir Park if you had a bunch of people with concealed weapons. It could have turned into a massacre.

What are you talking about?!Bad people ALREADY have concealed weapons!!!
Good people need to carry and be trained to use their guns.You just cant go buy a gun and put it in your pocket and walk around....welll...I guess when I was growing up in Waukesha I had the same idea.The only time I saw a gun was in my uncles basement where he kept his hunting rifle.....

I'm open carrying right now....have been for many years. Nothing of note happened: the sun still came up in the morning, no criminals have attacked me yet. Have smoke alarms too: no fires yet. Boat: have life preserver, haven't used it. Car: I wear seat belts. No accidents thus far. Motorcycle, wear a helmet: no wipeouts yet. Have locks on my doors: heaven knows what for. Can't we all just get along without these things?

I have always been afraid of guns. I think this will make a scary world even more scary. One store manager of mine had her tires slashed by an angry customer. Now, I will be more nervous when I try to deny an expired coupon or point out a limit on a sale.

Always love how many idiots need weapons to protect themselves. It's pretty sad all the losers who do crimes with guns and all. I thin it's a joke regardless and some law enforcement think just because they have a gun and badger they are better than the other person. I dont think so, but good old government loves to protect them and charge a person double. Guess people need to be men or women and go back to the olden days when it was using your fists as weapons and not taking the weak ass way out.

People do not 'feel' safer when armed, people ARE safer when armed and a community is safer.

We can see the illusion when citizens 'feel' safer with police, but gun owners already know that police have no duty to protect individuals from the criminal acts of others. Only you can protect yourself in the absence of first responders (indluding EMS).

Gun owners are better trained with completed training than we are given credit for. Those courses are conducted by police, Military and FBI.

Gun owners are armed because they are the only ones they can count on in the absence of first responders, so don't presume they are hot-headed and irresponsible just because the anti-gun people have been.

The anti-gun types are as irresponsible as the governmental types with our money and rights. Assuming gun owners are like they are is just another manifestation of their upside down thinking.

Why not go shooting with a gun owner? You might learn something.

The problem with gun control is that it is not something which can be done with the consent of the people. You also cannot own another human being even if you had consent of the people. These are inalienable, which means that you cannot write a law based on public opinion nor ask people to surrender their rights. Some things you simply cannot do unless you have another amendment.

Gun control then paved the way for bigger government, which is what is riling all of America now. It did not really have authority to begin with, and it doesn't have authority today. Nevertheless, illegality never did stop ambitious officials. But it does bluff much of the electorate who believe in 'sensible gun laws'.

That would make about as much sense as sensible ownership of another human being. Is there such a thing?

Feelings aside, this law is ridiculous. I come from a family who are all hunters and have been raised around guns. However these weapons have no place in our urban landscape. Yes, SOME bad people are already carrying guns illegally, but doubling down is not the answer. And the training everyone is speaking off... You mean to tell me that 60 minutes or an afternoon of training (where everyone passes) is really addressing safety of any kind under a MYRIAD of scenarios. We need to start moving the opposite direction here. By this I mean, cracking down on the thugs who carry guns in our cities and reversing this thoughtless law . Japan, Britain, Canada and most other civilized nations do not allow guns except for game and sport. There gun crime rates are 1/100 of ours! Look up the crime rate between Milwaukee and the whole country of Canada or any others. I think this speaks for itself, yet we double down under the misinformed guise that its our constitutional right?! Yes, our forefathers were about protection, but not about mass murder and idiocy. I think they would be amazed what our society is doing.

All of you that are against the concept of concealed carry would do me a great favor if you would wear a tag or button to declare that you do not carry a concealed weapon.
That would allow me to not come to your defense, if the need should arise, as you feel so strongly against the right that has just been re-affirmed.
That would also attract the attention of all the thugs... you will be a more lucrative target for them and that alone may save me from having to fend off the cretins myself.
Regarding the Reservoir park beatdown... never happen... I only go to Milwaukee when I absolutely have to... and not there... and not at night. That's just common sense.
