That was pretty decent. There were a couple things I didn't like, but overall not too bad.

I wonder, if the Cap Times (of all papers...) can right an article like this, is public opinion turning our way?

Ever since the 911 call was released I believe the tide has turned. People on the fence came over and more of the people on 'our side' have spoken up.

I have spoken to more people in the greater Elkhorn area that support us than I could ever imagine! I've had a few people go buy guns and start open carrying.

Every caller this morning on WPR was neutral or on our side. Even a 30+ year LEO said the MPD were completely wrong.

That was a well written article! There was no bias one way or another, just the facts.

I know of one officer on the Milwaukee PD who is pro carry and he said there are many
LEOs in Milwaukee who support our rights.

The Cap Times is not our friend. It will fight tooth and nail against open & concealed carry or as is called in the article, "packing heat." This piece is an attempt to warn their anti-firearm readership that the federal and state constitutional rights to bear arms will be litigated as a civil rights issues. It's nothing more than a rally cry to those that do not agree with us.
