Wisconsin Republicans protect women

The Chicago Tribune reviewed Wisconsin’s concealed gun permit law, which became law this summer after years of opposition by the Democratic Party. Finally, the state elected Republican majorities in each house of the legislature and a Republican governor, Scott Walker. The biggest beneficiaries of the new law that allows carrying a concealed handgun may be women.

The Chicago Tribune reported: “Roger Wendling, owner of Monsoor’s Sport Shop in La Crosse, estimates he’s seen a 25 percent to 30 percent increase in handgun sales this month. Some of the more popular models have been .38-caliber Sig Sauers and Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolvers, both small, snub-nosed weapons that are easy to hide. About 70 percent of the concealed carry clientele have been women, he said. They’ve leaned toward revolvers with laser sights and handbags with special compartments for hidden weapons, he said. Jim Clark, manager of Central Wisconsin Firearms in Wausau, estimated his handgun sales have increased at least 20 percent over the last month, with customers going with small models such .38-calibers and 9-millimeters.”

So women in Wisconsin feel they need protection — a protection the Democratic Party fought against for year.

Illinois is the only state left in the concealed carry permit battle. Democrats run the state. My advice to the women of Illinois: Move to Milwaukee, where women can protect themselves.

PA: Man Shot After Trying to Rob Pizza Delivery Man: "An alleged would-be robber is in the hospital after police say a pizza delivery man turned the tables against him. Investigators say the delivery man came to deliver pizza Monday night at a vacant home on the 700 block of Price Street in Germantown. When he arrived, police say a man approached him from a nearby alley and demanded $100 from the delivery man at gunpoint. Investigators say a struggle then ensued resulting in the would-be robber being shot in the neck and buttocks as the pizza spilled to the ground next to them. Police initially reported that the delivery man wrestled the gun out of the would-be robber's hands and shot him with it. They now say however that it's unknown whether it was in fact the delivery man who shot the suspect or if the gun accidentally went off. The suspect was taken to Einstein Hospital where he is currently in critical condition. The delivery man did not suffer any serious injuries."


AZ: Mom kills backyard intruder: "The woman told police that about three hours earlier, around noon, she saw two men enter her backyard. According to police, the woman said she became frightened and called her husband. "Her husband said, 'Hey, get your gun,'" Holmes said.

"One of them, who now is the victim, actually had a gun in his hand," Holmes said. "He saw her, he raised his gun toward her and at that point, she shot him." The other man ran to a white car and fled. The 35-year-old woman and her daughter were not harmed."


TN: Gun rights groups to challenge limitations: "Gun rights advocates in Tennessee are embracing an Arizona law that does away with a requirement that handgun owners get a permit before carrying their weapons in public -- part of a more aggressive push to loosen state gun laws next year. After being shut out last spring, gun rights supporters are planning to step up pressure on the Republican-led legislature to ease at least some of the state’s rules on carrying a handgun before they leave to campaign for re-election next year"
