Do you know what is banned in the WI state capitol? Sound amplifying devices. So protestors can't have a bullhorn but apparently anyone can walz around with a rifle.

Kinda sounds like something Florida Man would do.

Maybe, if he had a pet alligator as well as being shirtless.

Ta, Dok. WTF is up with allowing concealed carry in a government building?

I'm guessing the Republican representatives like to be packing at ALL TIMES, just as the founders intended.

The article doesn't specifically say that shirtless gun guy is white, but since he is apparently still alive I am able to deduce that shirtless gun guy is white.

Anyone else find the breasts of that woman in the protest sign disturbing?

"...and the suite of rooms that includes the governor’s office is protected by an armed guard."

Ask Huey Long about that one.

“And the next time you come to the Governor’s office armed with a machine gun and demanding to see the Governor, you will dress appropriately!”

An armed society is a militarized land of fear and paranoia and constant, needless violent misunderstandings.

After being arrested the second time, after upgrading his weapon from a handgun to an AK-47, officials strongly criticized the man for being so careless about his gun paperwork, provided him with the proper permits and helped him fill out the forms. He later returned a third time, fully nude, with a bazooka, vowing to blast Evers to smithereens for signing the law requiring a $10 fee for an open-carry bazooka license.

The shirtless thing might have given him away more than the gun which was concealed (even if it wasn't there's so much open carry nowadays that he would have looked like any other normal law-abidin', polite, open carry citizen...if he had his shirt on)

Luckily he decided to go with no shit instead of no pants, that would have tarnished the upstanding good name of all the no-pants wearers, even those from around here.

An armed society is a perishable society, IMO.

Ohh, yes. Gunhumpers are quite notoriously polite. "Excuse me, sir, would you greatly mind if I blow your head apart?"

In the graphic, could the woman get any further away from the man without breaking his are or hers? They may look polite, but they sure don't look friendly.

That idiotic slogan is just one of SO many reasons why I can't stand Heinlein.

Ha. There is a reason it was known as the Wild Wild West.

Although many of the cattle towns did have gun laws to keep drunken cowboys from shooting someone.
