WI:200,000 CCW Permits, 1 Appeal

200,000 permits is 3.5 percent of the population of Wisconsin, close to the national average for permits.  The Lautenberg Amendments mandates the loss of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms for conduct as simple as "threatening violence" to a related person.   In this case, pushing an adult stepdaughter.  

It seems a very small offence to lose a constitutional right over.

Wisconsin has issued nearly 200,000 permits to carry concealed firearms since Act 35 took effect in late 2011, while turning down about 5,800 requests.

Only one of those who were denied a permit has appealed that decision, according the state Department of Justice, and if he prevails it could clear the way for those with certain domestic violence convictions to legally carry hidden guns.

Congress in 1996 banned people convicted of domestic violence from possessing guns, and some gun rights advocates have challenged the reach of the so-called Lautenberg Amendment ever since.
