Concealed carry concerns get reloaded

March 13, 2012 By Brian Moon

Milwaukee Police want state lawmakers to make changes to the concealed carry law, to be tougher on straw purchases and on those who carry a hidden weapon multiple times without a permit. The police department also wants to require those with three misdemeanors to be barred from obtaining a permit, like felons are currently.

However, Nik Clark of Wisconsin Carry, a gun rights group, says a number of actions in Wisconsin can lead to misdemeanors. He brings up an example of a protestor who’s been cited multiple times for disturbing the peace: “All of a sudden here is a person who can’t carry a gun. That’s one of many scenarios.”

Clark is opposed to the proposals saying they can lead to “unintended consequences” in which law-abiding citizens will be unable to have a weapon.

Milwaukee Police officials say that some dangerous criminals will plea bargain felony charges down to misdemeanors.
