Just OC'd the walmart on capital with jacobk. No issues to report. Spoke with several employees with no noticable concern.
Awesome.

Went to Lowes on Brown Deer Road. Had a Beretta 9000 on my hip.
I had to talk to three people to find a belt sander, hi-temp RTV, and a few other things. Everyone did a double take at my hip, but no problems. At check out, the young woman droped my new belt sander when she saw the gun. It just did a flop and is fine (I could tell it would be). I picked it up, with a smile, and said it was ok. Still no problem. Nice trip for me. My Harley is a bit closer to being done as well...

OK, this is a new one for me. Is the Dr. Brenda Noach Secondary & Elementary School a real school? I looked at the "web site" for the school, and I think I am seeing a problem. Take a look at the size of the 1000 foot area around it... It is in the War Memorial? And we can't carry around (not in) the WAR MEMORIAL? What did my grandfather fight for?
What the hell is wrong with this city?

Probably is a school as defined in the law. This is indeed a very poor situation which you describe.

According to the school's web site, one school location is in the lower level of the War Memorial. People can't carry in the War Memorial because it's a government building, and can't carry around the building because of the school ban.
Worse yet, immediately North of the War Memorial is Veteran's Park, which is in the Milwaukee County Park System, and therefore the Milwaukee County parks ban applies. (Preemption should also apply.)

Happy Memorial Day...
Enjoy your "freedoms"
When the news anchors on TV and talking heads are gushing about the "free country" we live in, our founding fathers are turning over in their graves.
Government takeover of business.
Police state regulations, searches without warrants.
Whats most amazing is how at least half of the general public still recites the montra "free country" without a second thought.
I'm convinced when we have checkpoints, RFID tags, a carbon ration, and government approved diet plan to combat the out of control healthcare issues, people will still pick up the flag, march in parades, and proclaim how lucky they are to live in a "free country". I guess a good 80 years of brainwashing post New Deal (or should I say Raw Deal) really works.
Oh, wait... we already do have checkpoints http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFS7oZtE8Ks (drunk driving checkpoints, illegal immigrant checkpoints, obama is proposing a carbon ration (cap and trade) and government is taking over business, healthcare, etc.

If you do a search, RFID implants are proposed for "medical identification purposes," several public schools have banned soda and sweets (and if you send a cookie with your kid's lunch they go to the Principal's office for discipline and you get invited to a school meeting), the government won't let banks return the money they were forced to borrow so the banks are still under government rule, our paper currency is not tied to the federal reserve, and so forth.
On the up side, we still have freedom of speech. (Unless it's anti-Obama, then you're arrested, especially if you're at a college graduation ceremony where they also arrested protesters who were outside. Come to think of it, it's any possible anti-Democrat speech, as the "Don't Tase me bro!" guy demonstrated at a Kerry speech, unintentionally.)
I have to wonder how this River Splash [military zone] thing will pan out.
Edit: I also have to wonder if Hugh could fight through a "deployment of a TASER International Inc. electronic control device." I have a feeling his eyes would get that funny Hulk(TM) look to them and he'd growl a bit, but that's it.

Open carried again today. Twice at Home Depot HWY 100 and National, Also my weekly grocery trip to Pick N Save HWY 100 and Cleveland and then just around my neighborhood and yard.
An employee at HD did ask me if I was a bodyguard. I smiled and said "no" then he said "oh a cop" I smiled again and said "no" he said "oh I saw your 'little buddy' and figured you were"
At pick n save the checker "Jan" (who knows me from my weekly shopping) saw me in line and said "hey I saw you on TV!" and I said "uh oh, I hope I was behaving!" she laughed. When it was my turn to check out she said "I'm so glad you young guys still fight for our rights" (she's probably late 50's) (and I don't feel so young at 34 anymore but anyway) She went on to talk about how she's worried about whats happening in our country and with our government. I agreed. She said "I'm so tired of seeing people come through with food stamps and buy LOBSTER!" lol

| Carried again today. Went to The Fly Fishers, Cabelas, CVS, and Walgreens. I stopped a few more places and didn't carry inside as I wasn't going to be in long and my wife was in the car. It seems as if people notice an empty holster more than one with a gun in it. I've yet to see any real hard looks at the holster when it contains a gun, but when it's empty I have seen a few puzzled looks. Maybe I should use a cardboard cutout that says "place gun here" and use that when the holster is empty....

The more muscle you have the more you are effected by the taser.

I went to the movies today, OC'd at the Southgate Theater with the family. I saw Night at the Museum 2. Pretty good flick, the kids liked it. IMO, not as good as the first, but I did laugh out loud at a small recreation of one of the slo-mo battles from 300.
Oh, nothing out of the ordinary. I felt like people might have been watching, but it may just be because it was my first time carrying. I brought my "value" Smith & Wesson 908 because I didn't want to risk getting my Sig taken away.
After the movie, I walked over to the Walmart next door and followed my wife while she did some shopping. I did see some slight staring/pointing, but nothing major. For the most part nobody noticed, except a customer who asked if I worked there because she was looking for something in particular. Might have just been the blue shirt I happened to be wearing, though 
Overall, uneventful. Maybe I gave some people something to talk about when they go home.

Nice. I don't know if I can carry at the Majestic Theater in Waukesha...they have at least one bar in there and I don't know if their Class B applies to the whole theater or just the bar section.

Sounds like a class A misdemeanor to me. If you can drink on site, they must have a class B license.

I've been to the dinner theater thing at the majestic and have had alcohol there as well as the bar. They may or may not allow it outside of those places but I wouldn't take the chance of carrying there. Just sounds too messy.

Perfect. I smell a lawsuit if your rights are violated and it could make you a small fortune. But don't carry to try and bring a lawsuit...carry for personal security.
Some law enforcement erroneously thinks they may be better off with trying to scare people into not carrying. In fact, the Flynn response was really just for the media and any casual carriers that may be watching the news. Take a look at this attached advisory to "the troops" which actually is much different from what Flynn said. He put up a front and so is the Glendale cop. Bottom line, we have nothing to fear since all of law enforcement knows that our activities are lawful. Too bad they had to be directed by big daddy Van Hollen but in any case the result is that they now know, and them knowing and not acting correctly opens them to civil rights cases if they screw up. It's ok to be nervous about carrying, but it should not go into fear since the fear should have been lifted by VH.

Nik wrote a good piece on "asking permission" over on the La Crosse thread. (http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum57/25383-2.html) Although I'm not as elegant as he is, the jist of it was asking permission gives the police power they do not have and are not entitled to.
We should never be asking permission of our government, rather our government should be asking for our permission.
