http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-wisconsin-assembly-leader-packing-heat-on-floor-20120203,0,5390450.storyThe Republican lawmaker who presides over the state Assembly said Friday he's been carrying a concealed weapon during floor sessions.
Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer, of Waukesha, essentially controls the chamber during debate, presiding over procedures and controlling the debate. He also can order spectators out of the chamber if he so chooses.
He told The Associated Press that he obtained permit No. 16,657 under Wisconsin's new concealed carry law in November. He said he has carried a hidden Glock 26, a subcompact semi-automatic, onto the floor at times.
He said he feels he needs the weapon given the toxic atmosphere at the state Capitol, and he's not the only lawmaker packing in the chamber.

At least Kramer's gun is legal- unlike Dodd's...

In other news, I'm going to meet a guy in the morning I may be trading my old SS mini14 for a Sig 229 with a 10 round count.

(49,445 posts)And no mass murder, no slaughter of innocents, no "winning" debates at gun point.
In other words, the usual has happened. NOTHING.
Doubtless the guy's a political asshole... after all, he's a Wisconsin Republican and part of the union-busting/tax-giveaway crew from last year, so his Asshole Membership Card has been given the Gold Koch Star of Approval.
And he's definitely at fault for the divisive atmosphere in Madison, and for good and sufficient reason.
It doesn't change the fact that, contrary to popular opinion, he's not gunning down political dissidents or silencing political opponents at gunpoint.

(6,185 posts)But we're watching it very closely and I'm sure you'll let us know as soon as the blood starts to flow.
Otherwise, like so many of your posts where nothing happened, so what?
