Wisconsin, communist occupied..

[DAA1]

Well it sure seems like it at times..... I know there are several folks from here or who live here besides me...

[Optimus Prime]

Just think of us as some of the elite few who have a governor who doesn't think we're smart enough or trustworthy enough to defend ourselves... There's only two of those kind of great states left!

[MID]

milwuakee. #1 socialist city in the usa.

[glimmerman]

Believe Me, Madison Is Worse Than Milwaukee!!!

[Grasshopper]

Oh ya? Howz about Boston? They took the statue of La'Fiet down because it was "Ugly" and didn't represent Harvard Square. They took the munite man and placed a giant trigger lock on his musket.:icon_confused:

[omerta123]

yeah dude, kenosha, milwaukee area here

[Optimus Prime]

Oh ya? Howz about Boston? They took the statue of La'Fiet down because it was "Ugly" and didn't represent Harvard Square. They took the munite man and placed a giant trigger lock on his musket.:icon_confused:

I'd like to see a picture of that trigger lock...

[kpd007]

It could be a lot worse fellas. I know there is no CCW here, but at least our gun laws are not like those poor saps south of us. Really, imagine if the legislature tried any form of Draconian gun control here. 600,000 rifle/deer hunters alone. Madison would be their last holdout if that happened. And I don't think the diaper wearin pot smokers on state street could stop us from invading.:scarface:

[weasel_master]

I'm surprised at no CCW but you can have everything else. I guess I've only really hung out around in Northern Wisconsin though. Never spent much time in the burbs.

[Optimus Prime]

it' just pretty annoying to have a governor who's main issue is to shoot down the CCW everytime it comes up... he has stated several times that he will continue to veto it everytime as long as he's in office, and it just barely fails over riding the veto...
and his reasoning? He believes all the crap the anti-gun people say. Somehow he's convinced if we have CCW his state will turn into the wild west and we'll be having shootouts in the streets every day at noon. Nevermind it's been proven the exact oposite in every place that has it... he's just completely convinced a cold chunk of inanimate steel will turn any man into a murderer just from touching it.

[omerta123]

at least we can own class 3 firearms here

[Optimus Prime]

You don't really have to limit those, the cost alone is enough for most people...

[omerta123]

yeah i hear that, we should all meet up sometime this summer and shoot
midwest shoot out in five

[Darkwatch]

You might be able to count some of us eastern MN guys in on that shoot!:cheers: Hell I can't believe we got CCW passed here! But I ain't complaining!

[omerta123]

i almost wanted to move to the twin cities just for that

[vista461]

Maybe we'll get lucky and the gov will go to jail since there seems to be alot of attention about campaign contributions lately :)
I know, wishful thinking:icon_wink:

[Geilt]

Sittin' in the Wausau area here. I am torn about the gun laws here in Wisconin. No CCW at all but you can own class-3 and supressors. Where's the logic in that?

Doyle needs a good smack upside the head.

[MID]

But hey we got open carry*















* magazine must be out of the gun, and unloaded.

[Optimus Prime]

You forgot local ordinances... I don't think stevens point has any laws against it, but I know they'll get you for some sort of misconduct infraction if you do try to open carry in the city limits.

[Geilt]

But hey we got open carry*

* magazine must be out of the gun, and unloaded.


What's open carry? I can sling an AR15 over my shoulder and as long as its unloaded I can wander around town?

[okie shooter]

Just think of us as some of the elite few who have a governor who doesn't think we're smart enough or trustworthy enough to defend ourselves... There's only two of those kind of great states left!on that comment you are wrong, kansas's governor thinks that way too, but had to be overidden by the house and senate.

[jettag]

things are different in Madison. I don't see what the frakkin politicians have to gain by restricting cCW.
I've got so much more respect for animals than I do people.

Anyone close by feel like shooting? I'm not working till the 20th March and I'd like to meet more shooters in the area...Marco

<jettag@juno.com>:g3:

[jonboy20]

You can in Texas...in fact you can even do it at the State Capitol. Not 100%, but I think you can do it loaded too. You can also carry conceled in the capitaol....got to love texas.

[Optimus Prime]

I've been told by one of the local cops that in the city limits of Stevens Point at least they will arrest you for misconduct and take the weapon if you tried...

[ace522]

'Nother Cheeshead checkin' in here! I'd love to go shooting, but there aren't many places around Waukesha to take high-powered stuff. Not public, anyway.

[KMURPHY]

Ethan.....heard of McMillers



BTW...Waukesha here as well

[ace522]

Yes, Murph, I HAVE heard of McMiller's- my friend Al Jones siad he went once and will never go again!

[predator86]

nother wisconsinite checking in here....there is a gun show this weekend in eau claire that im going to....anybody feel like meeting up??

[Mike_262]

Former Wisconsinite as well, Currently in Nagoya Japan for work...

Grew up in Black River Falls and had to go out of state to find work after some years in the Army.
Can't see going back after all the Libs ran amok, so I'm in the Seattle area now learning what Tree Huggin' Hippie Liberals are all about!

I tell people that Wisconsin is a nice place to be from......

you get that?

lol

[rideronthestorm]

Boston, too bad it's in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. That place is INSANE. I lived there for years. You need a firearms permit to own pepper spray! You had better be a member of a protected group otherwise you are a target. The only good thing is that so many men are taking divorce lawyers with them when they commit suicide. As a result most lawyers are armed, becoming supports of the 2nd amendment despite themselves. Gotta love the irony!

[Grasshopper]

I know there was an NRA magazine with that minitman with a trigger lock on his muskit. Some time in the late 90s. I think Mayor Flynn did it.:icon_neutral:

[TapperMan]

Madison isn't so bad as it seems. The last Dane County sheriff signed off on my Form 1 when I was building a Krink.

[jettag]

Holdin it down here in Madtown,
Politicin' & kickin $&!^ around.
No Ccw got me down...

Open carry this you Gov'mnt clown

[turbothis]

sik......

[weaponeer]

Tomah area here....

We also hold Weaponeer build parties several times a year. (next one is Sept 08)

[IL DUCE]

Lived in and around Sheboygan WI for 20yrs then married a G.R.I.T.S (Girl raised in the South) and moved South. (Kannapolis, NC) I just love the short winters here plus I can ride my motorcycle year round.

[MasterGunner]

For those not aware of the denied area behind the Cheddar Curtain, the City of Madison, Wisconsin has the sole ownership of having the only Communist ever elected to any governmental body in the United States.

No, I did not mean socialist -- they have a ton of them there and in Milwaukee -- but a real Communist. He was a student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and was elected mayor of the city. (For some stupid reason, the locals let out-of-state college students vote in local elections and you reap what you sow at Kremlin Midwest.)

:g3:

[Nazgul]

This thread is hurting my head! Gotta get back to Texas some how....just gotta!

[Norton]

While visting Wisconsin I walked into a left wing book store
(if you could call it that) Man I was shocked by the hate.
I thought the Nazi party don't have nothing on you people.

We hung out in bunch of bar and saw the Packers play on a beat up TV set
I found it hard believe the left was so entrenched after meeting so many Wisconsin people who wear camo as part of the normal clothing, owned guns, hunted, drank American beer, ate meat and cheese watched football and Pro 'Raslin' on TV.
These are people who love fishing, snowmobiles and 4x4 trucks.

I thought how did these left wing loonies get a foothold up here?
The normal people you meet on the street seem to be 180 degrees opposed to these crackpots.

By the way we had a few people ask us..
So.. what country yu two from?

We said Virginia
they said Ooooo that explains why yu talk kinda funny :eek:

[IL DUCE]

Out in the rural area's most people that I've know were quite conservative. Imop its the Collage towns like Madison & Milwaukee that breed the leftwingers and commie/socialists.

[Nazgul]

Maybe there is hope we can create "Superior" as the 51st state after all.

[ace522]

Well, if Wisconsin is communst-occupied, thank God I live in Berlin. AKA Waukesha County. Spent a couple of years at UW-Milwaukee- I am reliably informed that UW-Madison is even more hippie-liberal than UWM.:icon_eek:

[DAA1]

is one of those places where the "few" make the descisions for the many..
Hence the reason I used my standby "communist" label. The sad thing is that there are a lot of really good folks there, they just can't swing enough votes to chase the commies out of power.

Of course Iowa aint a whole lot better, but they do have concealed carry, and instead of paying a 8.00 fee for a background check to buy a pistol and wait 3 days, you by a annual permit to acquire and pay 10.00 for as many handguns as you want to buy all year. Sweet deal, no 3 day wait, no extra cash each time you by a handgun.... I would say it's less communist than WI.

[jettag]

Don't care for politics but I still vote,
and noone makes decisions for Me.

[RandyCOG3]

You can in Texas...in fact you can even do it at the State Capitol. Not 100%, but I think you can do it loaded too. You can also carry conceled in the capitaol....got to love texas.

Went back to TX for my uncle's funeral 6-7 years ago, you could carry into the funeral home, but then they had signs inside that said it was prohibited to carry into the individual rooms where the visitations etc. occurred. Maybe that was just funeral home policy, I don't know. Don't remember any such thing at my Mother's or grandmother's funerals there.

RandyCOG3

[gandog56]

Wouldn't you know it? I moved from one of the only two states with no concealed carry, to Illinois-THE ONLY OTHER ONE!

[cevgunner]

Well , if it`s just a get together , anybody want to shoot an IDPA match while we hang out ?

Hartland Sportsmans` Club has an IDPA match on the first Saturday of the month from April until October , it`s in Delafield off of I94 & Hwy SS.

Nice folks there , been a member myself for several years. Close enough to Waukesha , Milwaukee , and the other bastions of liberal idiocy.

It`d be nice to meet some of you guys.

cevgunner,
Caledonia/Racine:2pistol:

[Anthropy]

And now that our new legislature, i.e. the supreme court of Iowa has legalized gay marriage, it will only be a matter of time before you get it to.

Nice to know, eh?

[Phirebug]

does anybody know if WI still has a waiting period for firearm purchases? i just got home on leave and i was thinking of picking up some new guns.

[ace522]

3-day wait for handguns, none for long guns IIRC.

[tlendy25]

It could be a lot worse fellas. I know there is no CCW here, but at least our gun laws are not like those poor saps south of us. Really, imagine if the legislature tried any form of Draconian gun control here. 600,000 rifle/deer hunters alone. Madison would be their last holdout if that happened. And I don't think the diaper wearin pot smokers on state street could stop us from invading.:scarface:

Ha HA. Poor saps south of us. Hilarious.

Too funny that people in WI even thinks gun laws are strict in IL.

At least you all have an open carry. We don't even have that. Heck, it is borderline illegal to even carry an unloaded gun in a locked case in the trunk of your car trying to take it to the range.

[tlendy25]

at least we can own class 3 firearms here

another thing IL prohibits.

Don't know if suppressors are considered class 3 or not, but we cant have them either. Actually it is illegal to even have pepper spray in several counties. Stun guns, forget about it. Now they are restricted the same as any firearm.

Did you hear about the $1m liability insurance that they tried to force gun owners to carry?

[slackjaw]

hey guys im from waukesha as well dont get me going on hippies some people prepare for the zombie apocalypse i prepare for the know it all college hippie apocalypse:2pistol:

[ace522]

I spent two years at UW-Milwaukee. You must have missed it- they're already everywhere.

[slackjaw]

i know i see them at my work getting vegitarian sushi f.... Hippies the point of sushi is fish!!

[omerta123]

so to try and revive this thread since i finally can use a comp that doesn't block this site anymore.... whatcha guys think bout walker, you think he'll keep his word and sign the c.c. bill when it comes up?

[Optimus Prime]

I think he would, but I don't see him pushing for any particular type of legislation (ie, shall-issue, may-issue, or Constitutional Carry.) Pressure needs to go toward the legislators to get a decent bill made up.

[chainsaw]

it' just pretty annoying to have a governor who's main issue is to shoot down the CCW everytime it comes up... he has stated several times that he will continue to veto it everytime as long as he's in office, and it just barely fails over riding the veto...
and his reasoning? He believes all the crap the anti-gun people say.

Nevermind it's been proven the exact oposite in every place that has it... he's just completely convinced a cold chunk of inanimate steel will turn any man into a murderer just from touching it.Probably some anti group paying him a gob of cash to think that way.

[ace522]

Well. according the NRA, they're going for all the marbles with Constitional Carry. Remains to be seen how far that flies in this state, especially with all the "blood in the streets" nonsense that cops up every time this is discussed.

They took the minute man and placed a giant trigger lock on his musket.:icon_confused:

You're making that up, right? :eek:

Glad I live in the South where "he needed killing" is a viable defense. :eek:

600,000 plus organized people should have some affect in your capital. You need a leader!

Can you tell me who that is in the picture in your avatar
