I was going to OC at Gryo's West in Waukesha a few days ago with my wife.  But I was surprised to see a Miller Lite neon sign in their window.  So I had to go in unarmed.  There were two cops in there at the time, incidently.

So I don't see how cops can carry into a place which serves alcohol.   There is no exemption for law enforcement personnel that I have seen in the state statutes.  Does anybody have any clues on this? 

I think it falls under the same category as the AG's office saying that a gun in a holster is considered concealed.  It's unenforceable because it's impractical.

My son retired from law enforcement about five years ago. He started out in Special Forces, after his discharge went the Police acadamy. Spent a short time as a street cop before going undercover nacotics and even murder for hire. Much of this time was with the State B.I. in his state. He even put a couple of dirty cops away. After his retirement he went to Iraq twice to train cops.

I  read several times on this site about "Looks Like A Cop". This makes my Laugh. Hugh's Picture in downtown Milwaukee looks like my son when he was undercover except his hair was not as long. :dude: When his Ma saw his the first time while undercover almost cried. She said "my god what happened to my beautiful son".

So the next time someone says looks like a cop think of this!!!:D

Why do so many people think I am or look like an undercover cop:question:  I was asked if I was undercover minutes before that picture was taken and again when we meet by the river a couple of weeks later.  Both times, the individuals refused to believe I was NOT undercover.

I went down to Summerfest today for the first time this year, because open carry is not allowed because it is considered a "class B site" but to show my support I still openly carried my holster in plain view.  I had a few people come up to me and ask why I was carrying an empty holster.  I explained all about open carry to them and gave them the business cards I had printed about open carry and opencarry.org  only after did I do this I found out one of the men I was speaking wtih was also an avid member of open carry.  So guns are a no go at Summerfest because they are a "class B site" but carry your holsters to show your support.  I hope to see more people there I will be there for 3 more days this year.

OCed at Wal-Mart on hwy 100 as well as Best Buy and Barnes and Noble on 76th.  I was sorely tempted to stop at Southridge mall but didn't have the time.  Nothing unusual to report.

Carried at Walmart on 27th by Loomis again today, then had some lunch at their built-in Subway.  No incidents except for a pair of young guys looking at me very oddly and sort-of pacing around the checkout area.  Maybe I deterred a crime?  Not sure.

Anyway, haven't had Subway in a while, it was actually pretty good.  :)

Went and hung-out in front of Paintball Dave's in downtown Milwaukee today, then walked up to the park to get some popcorn from Mom & Pops.

There were a LOT of people walking to Summerfest.  A LOT.  I hung out with the wife and kiddies and the fountain there, munching on popcorn watching the motorcycle police.  No incidents, but I know for SURE a lot of people saw my little friend.

You should have let me know.  I am a bit out of shape for Dave's, but I bet I can still give you a run for your money!  I love that place.  Got to tune my paint ball gun down a bit though:D

So I finally actually OC'd for the first time, SOLO on Tuesday at the Pick N Save on Holt/Chase I was so nervous being by myself I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I definatley didn't have anyone stop me :). Then I stopped by the Jimmy John's in the strip there and grabbed dinner I'm pretty sure people saw because I had to wait in line and the table there on my right was occupied.
I'm getting a little less nervous I carried at the Wal-Mart on 27th today with my kids, I thought it was hilarious that My daughter was excited and saying "Daddy's gonna be proud of you :D"

Excellent!  Congratulations on your first time!  The nervousness will be replaced with confidence in just a few more trips.  Just remember to carry a voice recorder. 

Carry on!

Awesome!  Carry on!

If I interpret your post correctly you are female?  Excellent.  Great to have the opposite sex as an ambassador of freedom also! People need to see that everyone regardless of race/sex loves their rights!

Ah, it's not the first time she carried.. just the first time she carried by herself.  :)

Anyway, I OC'd at Maria's Pizza this evening.  They're on 50-something and Forest Home.  Awesome eats, no alcohol.  And no complaints.  Not sure if anyone noticed, though.  Sometimes I don't even notice anymore, it's just part of my cloths.

I have yet to run into anyone else, though...
