Teeth of the Constitution

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The Second Amendment is arguably the most important: it is the "teeth" of our Constitution.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

    Paul Bucher for AG....maybe not...?

    I posted here (H/T Owen @ Boots & Sabers) about Paul Bucher and his apparent support for Concealed Carry law in Wisconsin. Well, yesterday Wendy posted on Boots & Sabers on Bucher's favorable position on creating a list of carry permit holders and Owen had another post here on his anti-carry statements. It seems there is a bit of confusion on what his stance really is on concealed carry, but it appears to me he's against it.

    As Wendy pointed out, Bucher apparently wants a list of those who have concealed carry so the police know if the occupant of the vehicle they are stopping may be carrying. Sorry, but I am sure the police are trained to approach all vehicles as if the occupant(s) are armed and dangerous. And as Wendy said, it's not the people who would be on that list that would be the problem for the police.

    Owen points out Bucher's past comments against concealed carry. That makes him sound like a Hillary wanna-be: tell the people what you think they want to hear, regardless of where you stand or how you will position yourself on the issue if elected.

    I posted here on what my version of Wisconsin Concealed Carry should be:

    "Wisconsin should have concealed carry that works like this; if you can legally purchase a firearm, then you can carry it. Period."

    Is there any reason to have more to the legislation than that?
