This Supreme Court ruling is binding on all states and local governments, andimmediately renders some of Wisconsin’s current laws unconstitutional. Therefore, inkeeping with my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, I hereby declare that thisoffice will no longer accept law enforcement referrals for violations of the followingstatutes:Section 167.31, prohibiting uncased or loaded firearms in vehicles;Section 941.23, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons, including firearms;Section 941.235, prohibiting the possession of firearms in public buildings;Section 941.237, prohibiting the possession of firearms in establishments where alcoholmay be sold or served; and,Section 941.24, prohibiting the possession of knives that open with a button, or bygravity, or thrust, or movement.All of these statutes constitute unjustifiable infringements on the fundamental right ofevery law-abiding American to arm themselves for self-defense and the defense of theirloved ones, co-workers, homes and communities. This change also invalidates JacksonCounty Ordinance Sections 9.01 (firearms in public buildings) and 9.29 (CCW).
I will watch for the legislature to make needed corrections in these areas. In themeantime, while I am happy to declare that we will follow the Supreme Court’s ruling, Iwant to emphasize that with fundamental rights come grave responsibilities, and I willcontinue to vigorously enforce the laws against unlawfully using firearms, such as theprohibition against felons being armed; going armed while intoxicated; using a firearm tocommit a crime; and endangering safety by negligent handling of a weapon, to name justa few. Only by the strictest adherence to firearm safety rules and common sense will weshow that the elitists who seek to disarm all of us are wrong, and that every law abidingcitizen can be trusted to protect themselves and their neighbors safely.
Hope thats the attitude of all in Wisconsin, not just one DA. I wish ILL would get the message. POWDERMAN.
