Make Evers Veto This!

It is now the case that most Wisconsin concealed-carry applicants are women, and a large group of those women are minorities.  Makes sense:  they are subject to car-jacking, attacks at grocery stores, on the street, and in their homes, regardless of race.

The author of that essay, Nik Clark, has another suggestion for the Wisconsin Legislature.

...This changing face of concealed carry presents an opportunity for Republicans to appeal to demographics that traditionally voted Democrat, but would likely consider a republican candidate who offered the real chance to make them safer. Elected Republicans ‘tough-on-crime’ policies are more symbolism than substance because local DAs and Judges drive the criminal justice system and can side-step new legislation. Elected Republicans CAN provide safety for urban and suburban voters by making concealed carry more attainable and more practicable.

School Grounds Carry: Right now, in Wisconsin, if a CCL holder out walking their kids on a weekend stroll steps one foot on school grounds armed, they are committing a felony. If a mother, father, or grandparent drives one foot onto the school driveway to pick up kids from school with their concealed carry gun with them they are committing a felony. This makes consistent carry impractical for many moms and guardians whose day starts and ends with a trip to school. I have inner-city moms who contact me asking how they can carry while walking their kids to school without committing a felony. In the recent past, a mother was carjacked outside a private school in Hales Corners in the pick-up line....

By the way, teachers are also defenseless due to this provision of Wisconsin law.  Bus drivers cannot defend the children on their bus, either.

It is interesting to note that Federal law has no such prohibition.

We know Evers will veto a law correcting this ridiculous provision.  Force him to do so.  Force him to ban protecting children and moms and teachers.  Get the TeeeeVeee to cover it and make damn sure they cover it honestly--for once.

Watch Evers' support wither in all the right places.

Heh.
