Wisconsin DA refuses to prosecute gun laws: "Jackson County's district attorney said Friday he no longer will prosecute some state weapons laws, including a ban on concealed weapons, in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Gerald Fox said in a news release the court's ruling "immediately renders some of Wisconsin's current laws unconstitutional." Fox said he will no longer accept police referrals for violations of statutes that prohibit carrying concealed weapons, loaded firearms in vehicles, possession of firearms in public buildings or bars and the possession of switchblades. "All of these statutes constitute unjustifiable infringements on the fundamental right of every law-abiding American to arm themselves for self-defense," Fox wrote"
