For those of you in Wisconsin who miss your right to carry a concealed firearm may get some justice if Jon Counsell, a Clark County judge has a say (Wisconsin Radio Network<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has to have a compelling state interest to do so (restrict the right to carry) and they have to have the least restrictive means of doing that,\u201d said Poss. \u201cPublic safety obviously is a state interest, but there\u2019s all kinds of ways to do that in this regard.\u201d In his decision, Counsell states the law forces citizens to \u201cgo unarmed (thus not able to act in self defense), violate the law or carry openly,\u201d but notes displaying weapon\u2019s openly isn\u2019t a \u201crealistic alternative.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
