This is truly amazing, and something that we should all be happy to hear. Good for Wisconsin and welcome to the world of CC!

A long time coming. Not the cleanest bill but definitely a step in the right direction.

About dang time!!

Does anyone know how long it will take after the Governer signs it will it be able to be implemented once and for all??

SMITH910 · June 22, 2011, 11:29 AM

Nevermind, found it. It would be Oct. 1st or Nov. 1st depending if he can sign it in June or July.

Apparently, not everyone is thrilled with the new legislation.

Congrats to Wisconsin.

Illinois is one step closer to CCW but thanks to our governor Quinn it will probably come about through a tooth and nail legal battle.

Here in Texas we had Gov. Ann Richards do that. Next place you see her after the following election is making Doritos Commercials on TV.

Two reasons:

#1 Madison WI
#2 Milwaukee WI

Thank god unlike Chicago and Illinois, the people living in more rural areas of the state have the power to outweigh those dwelling in the major cities.

Correct. As a native of Wisconsin, we've wanted CC rights for quite some time. The last governor (Doyle-D) vetoed it twice.

We do have open carry, but few people do. I think CC is a better way. Besides, the city of Milwaukee threatened to harrass people who open carry anyway.

It's about time. Let's get this signed into law Scott Walker!

@ Night: I love Wisconsin, my family has property up there that I do not get to near often enough. If only the Walworth Co. Sheriff didn’t respond to the whims of our crazy neighbor who insists we are shooting at his horses every time he hears a gunshot I'm sure I would be up there target shooting every weekend.

Congrats on the victory. It is great to see laws swinging in our favor in so many different places at once.

Latest rumor has it that the Governor will sign the bill on July 8th. Supposed to be a big party (according to an NRA insider).

cougar gt-e · June 30, 2011, 11:47 PM

I emailed back and forth to our representative and he said that Walker will sign the bill next week. Very probably 7/8 to milk all the political mileage out of it.

That puts the earliest date for getting a CC in October, probably November but nearly certainly done by Christmas. Ho Ho Ho -- merry Christmas! Here's your CC permit little Johnny!

The rumors were true. I was lucky enough to receive an invite to the event. Was just a few feet from the desk. It was an impressive ceremony.

I looked at the Brady website this morning and cannot find a single piece on the signing of the WI CCW bill. I wonder if they got the news.
