It's being reported in THE NEWS that Governor Scott Walker believes any concealed carry bill in Wisconsin ought to include permit and training requirements.
The Governor is absolutely wrong. What a shame that he has apparently caved in to a long list of people and groups promoting nonsense.
So much for adhering to his party's platform of "smaller government" and it's support for constitutional carry.
Permits are worthless and meaningless. Criminals already carry concealed weapons without a permit and will continue to do so. Issuing permits to the law-abiding citizens does nothing to stop criminals from being armed. No empirical evidence exists that suggests public safety is greater in states that require concealed weapons permits when compared to the states that do not require permits. Likewise there is no data supporting enhanced public safety in states that have no mandatory training requirements.
