If the government wants to take my guns away from me they can kiss my ass. (I have no criminal record so there's no reason to expect me to be a threat to society.)
Now if they want to determine whether I can or cannot conceal my weapon. I don't really care. One way the attacker would know I am armed and my hope would be they would leave me alone. On the other hand I would have the element of surprise and perhaps I could escape serious harm. It's a gamble either way. Personally I don't think I would carry a gun but I would like to at least have that option.
As for crime in Wisconsin - It all depends on where you go. Here in our local paper today for the police reports for the past week we have: 25 traffic violations, 1 burgery which resulted in a cedar chest being the only thing stolen, and one a highschooler who accidentally broke a window by knocking on it. The highschooler was taken to the ER for stitches. In past weeks we often have numerous reports of raccoons invaiding trash cans, skunks spraying people, deer accidents, and bear trespassing on people's back porches. I could DEFINATELY see carrying a firearm in order to defend against aggressive critters but in that case they won't care a bit whether it's concealed or not.
