Open Carry Solidarity Event In WI A Huge Success
Wisconsin –-(AmmoLand.com)-The unbelievably-successful open carry event in Wisconsin over the weekend didn’t make it out in our email broadcast. We’re not going to make that mistake twice!
“State Police Interaction” under favorites in our youtube channel is what sparked this event. An ordinary open carry advocate was harassed and troubled while he finished his lunch at a Chinese restaurant by state troopers. They instigated and created a problem where none existed. They treated this man differently only because he was openly carrying a pistol on his side, as the law fully allows in Wisconsin.
Check out the following to see the video from the event.
How did the community respond? Politely, proudly, perfectly! At least 50 people gathered in three locations: Starbucks, the State Police headquarters in Waukesha (where we stood on the steps to the front door, fully armed in plain sight!), and the Chinese restaurant where the harassment occurred. The restaurant owners were so happy to have us on a Sunday. They even gave us all free ice cream!!
Thank you to everyone who went, and especially to Wisconsin Carry, Inc. who helped volunteers organize and promote the event. Wisconsin Carry, Inc. has shown that they are serious about Right to Carry and serious about supporting gun owners who exercise their rights. They have also reached out to ICarry.org in friendship and camaraderie to work together and keep pushing open carry in order to remove restrictions on concealed carry in Wisconsin!!!
As a matter of fact, even though I live in Illinois, I just joined Wisconsin Carry! You see, many of us who live in northern Illinois will be traveling frequently to open carry events in Wisconsin to give our brothers and sisters to the north our support. I’m sure we will see that support reciprocated. This has already begun, and it will turn into something that’s not been seen anywhere else in the nation. Why? We’re the last two states without concealed carry, so we’re in this together and ICarry.org is leading this tag-team effort!!!
