Mr. Ballogh,

I have contacted the city attorney and he stated the following,

I’m not sure they were actually really firearms, but the veterans were technically in violation of state law. However, the police department has chosen to exercise common sense and will not pursue a technical violation of the state law committed during a City-sponsored parade in celebration of Memorial Day by veterans who put their lives on the line to protect us.

I do believe this covers it. The Police Department nor the city will issue permits for citizens to carry firearms in a school zone.

Sounds like a violation of the equal protection clause....

He said "won't" not "can't"

I've sent an email off to David Ritgers at cato.org as he wrote a recent article on this: http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2009/05/18/gun-free-school-zone-follies/

I asked if he would offer up his opinoin or direct us to the proper people to do something about this.

I sent an email to Mr Rittgers asking if he could point me in the right direction on this. This was his reply:

[align=left]This may be a legitimate model for challenging the no-concealed carry policy in your state. I am familiar with the case of a pizza delivery driver and a retired police officer getting court recognition for their carry needs, and your state RKBA provision may provide the basis for broader challenges. You need to talk to a Wisconsin-barred attorney. If I knew a good one I would point you his/her way. I'm out of my depth on Wisconsin law and can't give you any substantive info beyond what I've said here.[/align]
