[Logical]

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has received more than 20,000 applications to carry concealed handguns since a new state law took effect Tuesday.

State officials anticipate that as many as 200,000 applications could be submitted in the first few months.

5. Guess again

Why do you have such a hard on for the people of Wisconsin? What makes you think they will be any worse than the other 48 states that permit concealed carry?

You have been predicting blood in the streets and shootouts over parking spaces for a long time. This map shows how many times you have made your lame predictions. Aren't you tired of being wrong?

6. Why? Are you planning on trying to mug a CCW permit holder?

It is well known that LEGAL gun carriers very rarely misuse their gun. Please note that "very rarely" does not mean never.

9. I was there a few months ago and will go back any chance I have now

Nearly every state has some form of concealed carry now. Where are you hiding out, Illinois or DC?

12. I sure wouldn't take someone elses gun.

7. There will be major problems in Wisconsin.

Demand will exceed supply and prices on ammunition and firearms will go up. Shooting ranges will be crowded as well, good parking spots will be hard to find. All those ear plugs, shooting glasses and range bags; they're made in CHINA! Hopefully Wisconsites will see the error of their way and purchase Ruger's, Smith & Wessons, and American manufactured ammo.

8. When was the last time you saw someone carry?

I am almost 60 years old.

I have never - ever - seen a person carrying a concealed weapon in public.

How many people do carry? 5%?

A lot of people have a license to carry and never carry.

I have never even seen a gun discharged in public (by police or by private citizens)

Whatever....

10. If it's concealed, precisely HOW do you know who is carrying?

Do you have x-ray vision? Do you carry a metal detector and wand everyone you meet? :sarcasm:

Unless they tell you or reveal their gun in some way, (brandishing) which is against the law in some states, you will NEVER know.

Just because you have never seen anyone carry, or a firearm discharged in public means nothing.

[socialindependocrat]

14. That's the point...

We have a fair number of people who carry

but we don't know who

and we haven't seen anyone carry

therefore, what is the problem - there is none

People are carrying responsibly..

11. That is good! They are doing it right, then.

It would very interesting to know how many people do carry. I can, and have, but for a couple years.

[We_Have_A_Problem]

13. I see someone who is carrying on a regular basis...

Of course, most of my friends have CCW permits, and I know they carry all the time.
