Um, the concealed weapons can be used by criminals, too. This isn't trying to take your gun, or whatever yiou deem necessary to preotect your family, but it's taking away the danger of not knowing who is or isn't armed. If you have a gun in your house, in a drawer, then you can protect your family. If you're walking down the street and get mugged (which is basically unheard of in Wisconsin), who's to say a conceiled weapojn will work better than one that's out in the open? If guns are supposed to be a deterrant, then they should be out in the open, so as to deter. Concealied weapons are used for one thing, shooting someone who doesn't know you have a gun.
