Doylie Concealed Weapon Ban Unconstitutional!

Hoocouldanode?

A Clark County judge says Wisconsin’s ban on carrying concealed weapons is unconstitutional. In the case, authorities charged a Sauk City man with carrying a concealed weapon, after he admitted he had a knife in his waistband. He never threatened anyone. In light of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, attorney William Poss filed a motion to dismiss the case on constitutional grounds. Judge Jon Counsell obliged Wednesday, ruling the law is overly broad and violates both the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution.

Actually, Screechin'Shirley's SCOWI has said as much, albeit in relation to the Wisconsin (not Federal) Constitution.

The fun begins!
