Two Waukesha officers who do not get it

Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus has some issues with the concealed carry bill...

* including stun guns, knives and clubs as weapons that can be carried without requiring training for them

Well I have an issue that just because I have a Swiss-Army pocketknife, I can currently be charged with concealed carry weapon.

* a fine only for carrying a weapon without the permit; such offenses should be crimes, he said

Not true, because the law requires the permit to be on the person. If it fell out of my wallet, should I now be a criminal?

* allowing people such as drug users and those convicted of domestic violence to carry weapons when they are forbidden to do so under federal law.

The bill does not allow this. Domestic Violence is a restriction of the bill. Drug users are also excluded if they are in clinical care. If not, how do you know? Should we have a pee test as well?

Tushaus, in his letter, said his department was "unalterably opposed" to the bill, and his comments "should not be interpreted as an effort to ‘improve’ the bill but rather as indictments of a concept fatally flawed from its inception. ..."

If you are unalterably opposed to the bill, you are NEVER going to be for it no matter what is done to the bill. Why should we negotiate with Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus?

Rosch suggested another idea: carrying unconcealed weapons. People in Arizona wear their weapons in full view, he said.

Chief Tushaus, you currently arrest people who carry openly under disturbing the peace. We can open carry by law today, why do we need a law to cover this type of carry?
