Yep, I am indeed alive, just have been the very busy sort of late as usual. I'm also not the sort to put down posts to just post. And truth be told, the blogfather, Jay and a few others that I follow sum up my thoughts exactly on most things.
Yes, Wisconsin will be getting a Concealed Carry provision finally. I'm saddened that it is not a constitutional carry but I understand that Walker and the other Republicans have their hands full with pulling the states fiances out of the ditch, and fighting costly recall efforts from the Jackass party. It is better than nothing and the silver lining with this is that we will have reciprocal carry rights with many other states. And Constitutional Carry is still in striking distance.
The part that troubles me is the training requirement. While it is very broad in the set up I just question it in the way that while it is a shall issue state, if it is up to the local police or sheriff are they able to say that the training you have is not enough? Can they Mandate or say your permit application is denied due to insufficient training? It will be interesting to see what in the end is acceptable and what is not.
And it is about time, though I expect it took so long due to the whole collective bargaining fight we had. While Wisconsin Got most of the press on this all, it seems that multiple other states have done the same thing in the wake of it all with this state. I'm glad that it is finally going forward. I'm not against unions in state or federal levels bargaining for higher wages or cost of living increases. (Mind you the private sectors seem to lack that entity often times for non union workers) But the simple fact that when asked to chip in to keep their fellow new employees from being laid off, that, that was unacceptable! The fact that if I wanted to be a teacher in this state and had to join a union to do so is also, unacceptable. And the other fact that over 90% of unions political support goes to one party is also, unacceptable. It seems that the unions in this state are already requesting bank routing numbers from their members to get their dues is comical. That will not end well, with the fact that ..well, Giving someone the chance to take money from your account just does not seem to be a great thing. Mistakes happen you know! At any rate the thing I have observed is that unions will gladly eat their own in the way that yes lay off the newest employee in our union so I can get a raise this year or keep my pension plan! It does not strike me as being a safe thing to be a member of due to that fact alone.
