Protias,
It's only been a few years that Wisconsin passed a "permit to carry" law. As you remember, only Wisconsin, Illinois, and DC prohibited carrying outside one's house. I believe it was Scott Walker's first term where he signed the bill. And as a good thing, the bill did not prohibit open carry. Why pick on Wisconsin when it has accomplished a whole lot more than most other States?
We don't have a active lobby like AZCDL pushing it, we lost a prime mover when Galloway resigned.
There other states pushing Constitutional carry also KS, NC, SD, ID, NH.
There seems also a reluctance to take small steps and to only go for the whole thing by some in the OC movement in the state.
All the above mention states have a history of chipping away then going for constitutional carry Any law that gives us a small win is better then no law. Or a law the demands it all and will not pass.
Snip-

To read pre-Act 35 posts. Opinions on whether concealed carry will arrive and possible features of a new law. It seems to me that Wisconsin has done pretty well. I suspect that during the Doyle Era, most people would have traded off the possibility of permitless CC for immediate licensed CC with more restrictions than we ended up with. The other question would be what are the reasons that folks seek/push for/demand CC without a permit? Principle, forgoing government evaluation, $, there are several. But then ask yourself what a "constitutional carry" system would look like. Wisconsin has similarities to AZ, AK, WY, etc. but significant differences as well. Should there be a "permit optional" system to handle GFSZ, NICS alternative, carry in other states? Would carry without a permit make LEO encounters more problematic? I don't have any solid answers (yet) - but there are plenty of questions that should be asked.
