Wisconsin Carry Lawsuit

In Madison Wisconsin, if you engage in legal activity that the police don’t like you get arrested on bullshit charges. When it becomes obvious those charges don’t fit the situation they drop them and charge you with other bullshit charges.

Open carry is constitutionally protected in Wisconsin. Five guys openly displaying their holstered handguns while enjoying dinner at a restaurant were called in to the Madison police. The female caller called because she was concerned but acknowledges they aren’t doing anything to cause concern other than carrying firearms, and when told open carry was legal by the police communicator replied “then they’re not doing anything wrong.” The police go anyway. The guys were charged with obstruction when they refused to provide ID them disorderly conduct when the obstruction charge fell through. They’re suing as they should be. John has details over at No Lawyers – Only Guns and Money. To me, it looks like a case of the police creating a problem where there was none or trying to send a message. Lawsuits send messages too.
