I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a Texan with family in Illinois worrying about Wisconsin's gun laws. Has the mighty WI been making menacing gestures towards Illinois?
That notwithstanding, I find the argument that we need conealed carry because exposed carry is being outlawed, people can go to jail blah blah blah specious. yeah, if somebody is walking around with a gun in their hand, that's a worry. If it's holstered or shouldered, not so much. Additionally, every cop in concealed carry territory now has one more thing to be on edge about in every traffic stop or jay walking. This guy may have a gun somewhere.
Like I said, I live in DC, never seen a gun related crime, and at 45-100,000 ratio, I can see why not.
Plus, like in every other city I've lived in, you know where the crime is, and you don't GO there.
