THE Madison liberals and police and sheriff want to post No Firearms signs all over so any cc bill will do us no good. They are going to raise Hell before Tuesday to try to mess up the cc bill. Please contact your reps ASAP.

Are you talking about the attempts by dane county and madison to enact rules/laws/ordinances against guns on their respective gov't property? don't worry about it. It's all worthless due to state preemption law.

It's not preempted, because the right to post is protected by SB93.

You're talking about 2 different things.
WI statute 66.0409 is the state preemption law. Once SB93 is law, if Dane County passed an ordinance or resolution or anything prohibiting guns in taxpayer-owned buildings, it would be unenforcable because of preemption.

SB93 allows private & public buildings to post signs (of undetermined design) to notify citizens that they're not wanted.

So the Dane County law itself would be worthless,
but any signs they posted would be good (as long as they were at least 5x7") only because of SB93.
It's a distinction without much of a difference.

But if Dane County were to post, say, 4x4" gunbuster signs on doors of county buildings, it would be perfectly legal for someone with a permit & a pistol to enter & remain until personally told by building management that they were unwanted. (If it wasn't one of the buildings prohibited in SB93.)

66.0409 Local regulation of firearms
66.0409(1)(b) "Political subdivision" means a city, village, town or county
66.0409(2) Except as provided in subs. (3) and (4), no political subdivision may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that regulates the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, keeping, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration or taxation of any firearm or part of a firearm, including ammunition and reloader components, unless the ordinance or resolution is the same as or similar to, and no more stringent than, a state statute.

Once SB93 is law, we need to agitate to get the signage requirement corrected.
Even if they're small (5x7"), they should still be something standard & easy to spot.
Blaze orange, like they originally required, with a black gunbuster symbol & 1" letters saying "no guns".
I think they should be at least 12" square.

While I agree the anti CC group will try to put a wrench in the upcoming law (which wont happen), I dont think we should get up about sign posting. Private property rights should trump CC. Let folks post all they want. We always have choices of where to CC.

As far as govt agencies posting, that's a bit obnoxious, but would have minimal effect on our lives.
