I support concealed carry. 48 states in our beautiful country support concealed carry in some form or another. But not our Governor. Doyle says we have to advertise we have a weapon by wearing it in the open, which is a serious tactical error. No, he'd rather give the advantage to the criminals.

Funny the attempted break in at a retail store on Zeir Rd isnt mentioned here. The break in was attempted at 130 this morning and the MPD were dispatched but chose not to go to the sight. The poor employee had to find the window busted out with a cinder block at 9am when she arrived to open the store......hhmmmm the descriptions of these men seem oddly familiar...perhaps the murders that murdered Marcus (POLO) Hamilton on Sunday. Way to go MPD!!!! Looks as though ur really on top of your game!!

I agree with all anon. entries so far, and I agree with Jamie that concealed carry should be allowed. This surge in robberies, murders and rapes in Madison is outrageous. We should all be allowed to carry pepper spray and handguns to defend ourselves. With all the crime in Madison, the UW is OFF the short list of schools for my three daughters!
