I don't think it's a regular situation, and thus, lends itself to the imagination of everyday citizens about the practical reasoning for having a rifle on your shoulder. People don't know this guy's sanity or intentions. |

I am not responsible for the imagination of other citizens. Mind you, I don't carry my rifle around town, but I have zero problem with a legal citizen who is abiding the law going about his own business.

I feel sorry for the pro gun people who can't see that this 1 guy was taking his 2nd amendment rights to the very edge just to get a reaction from the public.
After all, the "concealed" part in CCW covers slinging a long rifle over your back in plain view. |

This isn't a CCW issue. Wisconsin is an open carry state.

How else CAN you really carry a rifle, but open? Is there now some sort of open carry permit that is different than a concealed carry permit? If he's open carrying and open carrying is illegal, then why would they need to check his CCW license? He's not carrying a concealed weapon. At any rate, some states (such as Florida) do not permit open carry. Many states (such as Wisconsin) permit open carry and you don't even need a CCW for it. If it's legal for you to possess the firearm it's legal to open carry it. Unfortunately many police officers don't know the ins and outs of gun laws, and many private citizens (seemingly you) don't know basics, so you get the kind of people who see a gun anywhere and pee their pants calling police, and this type of nonsense happens. |

I feel sorry for anti-gun people who don't appreciate gun rights.

Yeah, you're right. It's completely within one's rights to be a total asshole without any regard for those around him. Exercising those rights, however, is where I have the problem.
