It really was a mind bending decision for me. I admit it took some time to work up the courage too. But I can no longer stand around while my friends and family willingly give up more and more of our ******* Constitutional Rights on a daily basis. Plus I know firsthand the power of grassroots organizations.

So here I am and thanks all for having me.

Thank you. It was a big decision weighted with heavy consequences that we all made. Deciding that the 2nd Amendment is irrefutable was easy for me. Deciding to carry took a lot more. My wife agreed but was scared. Things went very well for me up until a night shopping at Woodman's Grocery in LaCrosse Wi. You can use search here to check on details. Bottom line here is that members of the OCDO and The leadership of Wisconsin Carry.Org took the bull by the horns and contacted Woodman's and within 24 hours, had it sorted out. That is why we join Wisconsin Carry.Org and why we stand together in this difficult but exciting time. So, Again thank you and I applaud your courage...

It does seem that when 'we' are downtrodden, 'we' unite and good is made of it. 'We' just need to remember that feeling between crises.
Yup!

I am proud to know you all. May not always agree with you but I will do everything in my power to stand beside you in demanding our right to bear arms not be infringed... United we stand.

Hardballer out!

Don't look back with regret. That interaction united us in a way they could not ignore. Thank you
I do and I don't. It was good because it got everyone to actually get work done faster. I didn't like it because I just want to be left alone for following the law.

I agree, however, if this Madison thing, for example, moves the ball forward, it was worth the hassle. Your 'encounter', got my attention and even though I didn't attend the State Police demonstration, I went to the next event afterwards and haven't left since.

I have to say, I have nothing but good things to say to you all. I hope Madison learns its lesson in this instance. Hopefully Constitutional Carry comes soon and the police learn that law abiding citizens are not the issue, it is the criminals! And whether or not the police like it, law abiding citizens prevent crimes more than they (the police) do.
