Are we really expected to disarm just to enter a pit toilet to stay legal? The only way we are going to get this cleared up is by being charged with an offense. Because I doubt we will get clarification on this from our A.G. or anyone else that matters anytime soon.
In Milwaukee, you are probably right. Especially at Summerfest. The MPD will be right there to arrest you and remove you from the premises. However, prosecution more than likely will not happen because taking this to court is going to mean a Federal Law suit, which the DA knows the city will not win.
There will be the hassle of waiting for your fire arm back. Which you can rest asured it will not be in the same pristine condition it was in before it was unlawfully confiscated.
I still believe taking this to court would make a laughing stock out of the prosecutor.
Everytime I have ever went to the summerfest grounds for any festival the security at the gate has been very unfriendly.
2 years ago we went to the indian summer festival. We walked through the gate with a Radio Flyer wagon for the kids and nothing was said. A few hours later some of the native American security personnel came up to us and said we had to lose the wagon or leave.
I looked around and there were dozens of wagons being pulled around by obvious native American families. So. I said, " What about them do they have to lose the wagons or leave?" The security officer just looked at me and said nothing.
So I said to him, " Until all of the wagon owners are made to lose the wagons or leave, I will continue using ours and I walked away without any further incidents.
It seems they enforce the rules at random there on the grounds, but I could see them hauling one of us off just to give us the bad publicity. You know, "Only bad guys carry guns."
