    People don’t seem to understand how strong the open carry law is in Wisconsin. I live in Milwaukee. The rules for the RNC were crazy. It had a hard zone that nobody, but the people attending the event could enter and a soft zone that people were allowed to be to protest which was further out. You weren’t allowed anything that could be used as a weapon in the soft zone, even water bottles weren’t allowed to be metal or hard sided. But, you were allowed to open carry a firearm in the soft zone.

      Explain gun law, get downvoted. But not by the Wisconsin guy who lives it. Lots of 2A states out there.

      I think the kid is a shit, but, technically, the carry part was legal.

        Yeah, blame the prosecutor for going after a charge they knew wouldn’t stick because it was performative. Or blame the law itself. It’s crazy, but what he did was legal.
