I’m lucky to live in the State of Wisconsin. The Dems fought concealed carry, so hard and so long, that when we finally elected a Republican Governor, with GOP majority in both the House and Senate, one of the best CCW laws in the country was enacted.

No carry signs are basically unenforceable, in fact the first CCW permit holder to fire at a threat was in a place with signs, but they didn’t meet statute and even if they did, the worst is a misdemeanor and that’s after being asked to leave multiple times.

Employers can’t prohibit employees for having a gun in their car, even if they drive that vehicle as a part of their job and even if the driving is done only on property the company owns or leasees. We can carry in bars, just can’t drink a drop while armed.

The best is that liability is coded into the statute. If a property owner prohibits you from carrying a weapon, they automatically become liable for your safety from a civil standpoint. If something bad happens and you are without your gun, you can sue the pants off them.

I wish other states would enact similar legislation. After awhile, property owners would get sick and tired of bring dragged into court and paying out settlements.

Well stated. My wife and I own a handgun for home protection but we don’t carry it on us or travel with it. As a matter of fact I don’t belong to a gun organization and voted against carrying a concealed weapon in Colorado a few years back when I lived there. I don’t fear the govt is taking away my second amendment rights and don’t feel I need to carry a gun with me at all times. I am a coach and would feel it unnecessary and potentially dangerous. I don’t mean this to be a political reply, but the writer hit the nail on the head and I agree. Why restrict the freedoms we do have with travel and the enjoyment of the things we like because of the fear of something that probably won’t happen.
I am 77 years old and started Krav Maga when I was 75 so I can protect myself and family without a gun. I am at this time preparing to test for my black belt which includes gun and knife defense and how to handle a gun and knife in stressful situations. I agree that we should not be so obsessed with our guns that we fail to enjoy the things we love to do, the things we love to eat or the places we wish to visit. Actually there is no guarantee that even carrying a gun will protect you in many situations. I have had my say and as a Vietnam veteran I can say it’s better to live and enjoy life that live in fear.

With one exception, It has never occurred to me to avoid travel or patronage because of carry limitations. I don’t knowingly or willingly go to dangerous places. Stupidity is a fatal condition, and a concealed gun is no cure.

I think the point should be to let those places who ban concealed carry on their premises should be sent a letter telling them they are losing your business (and your like minded friends) by basing their ban on false facts. I no longer shop Dicks’s Sporting goods (had bought a rifle & shotgun there previously) and no longer buy Levi’s jeans. Let them know of your displeasure and tell your friends don’t buy from them.

I am able defend myself and my family member against most single attackers without resorting to drawing my weapon. But the true facts are that 99% of all attacks are commited by groups of people. So unless you think you are chuck norris or jackie chan in a movie it never ends well for the victims. When a group of large angry men attack people having a peaceful dinner because they don’t like your color, appreance religion or whatever reason. Than its time for mr colt to equalize the situation and damm the consqunces. Just know that if I am on the jury,,, you will go free and screw the snowflakes, liberals, democrats. Burn down your own towns, it will serve you right.

There’s plenty of good restaurants that allow CCW so just go to one that does. Also, I do not shop in the indoor malls that bar guns. However, what I do is shop in the big store in the mall by entering and leaving through the outside doors. The ones without any Gun Signs. Or you can communicate with the owner about the restrictions. Two years ago a restaurant one of our favorite restaurants one day had a “No Gun Zone” sign in the front door. I told my wife to go in and order our food for takeout. I sat at one of the outside tables that were close to the front door and windows, all glass. The owner came out and asked why I didn’t come inside. I told him because of the sign, that I Carry and do not go inside the “Zones”. He said “You can come in if I let you. You’re a good customer and I don’t want to lose you.” I explained that as long as that sign is on the door I cannot come in with my weapon. He said “I have to check that out.” The next week I saw that he had taken off the signs.!!

So I’m a 76 year old man who years ago if pushed to protect myself I could easily at 195 and benching 300 lbs. But now when I see images of those five guys attacking one guy I say “That will not happen to me.” So I Carry all the time so that will never happen. Granted, I probably will not find myself in that position BUT who knows for sure.!!

We all know the crazed idiot that wants to kill will seek out that Gun Free Zone, knowing there’s less chances of being stopped. I refuse to put myself in any of those places the idiot is seeking. No favorite sandwich or meal is worth it. Even if the odds are very slim.

BTW, I live in Tennessee and travel to Pennsylvania at times. I Carry the entire trip except for a small 20 miles drive through a slender part of Maryland. Before I get to the Maryland border I have to lock my pistol and ammo in my trunk. After driving into PA, I then stop put my pistol back on and continue on.!! :o)

I’m extremely disappointed that PDN would permit your article on their website. Would you frequent an establishment that posted any of the following signs : “No handicapped people allowed”, “No [add your race/ethnicity here] allowed”, “No [add your nationality here]”,”No knives, pepper spray, Tactical Pens, or any other weapon allowed”???
I respect the right of the store owner to make a statement with entrance policies…and I will spend my money accordingly, i.e. not in establishments which post signs which are diametrically opposed to my opinion. If more gun owners would exercise their right of choice and be more discriminating in the businesses they choose to support with their purchases, perhaps more store owners would think twice before attempting to disenfranchise their potential customers.

In reply to Mike. I carry to protect my wife and home, this is a saying i used by being a LEO for many years. I would rather be tried by 12 than be carried by 6
