Political Fire Mission

[Brass Magnet]

We don't need 5 or 10 thousand to make this happen. This movement started its path with one man planting a tree. We need small groups peppered thru out the state willing to contact every sportsman group and rod and gun in their area to rally support. Small groups can accomplish great things. The Octoberfest parade had a small group and managed to hand out thousands of WCI brochures. Please don't underestimate the ability of a few dedicated individuals. We have enough time to make a big difference. If we don't do it who will?

Exactly!
Take one penny and double it, then the two pennies and double that. Wash rinse repeat. Even a hand ful of people can get this going.

If we aren't willing to spread the word I am left to wonder who will? If 10 thousand strong is the intended goal then it will be up to all of us to make this happen. Not to long ago oc was unheard of in this state and now it is common. This started wilth the actions of one and has blossemed into some real change for gun rights. We need to do more than talk big, we need to get off our butts and hit the streets to promote our cause. We need to gather our friends, make new friends and rally support in every corner of this state. The political enviroment is prime for us to be doing this.

I found this on, of all places, a WAVE site, dated September 2008. I never realized that so many campuses had a Students For Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC) chapter - especially when Wisconsin has no concealed carry law. Time to do a little outreach. Maybe Wisconsin Carry Inc. could offer a student membership rate.

Quote:

"Like Marquette, UW-Milwaukee opposes allowing students to carry concealed weapons on campus. “We believe the police force that we have on our campus is best suited to deal with situations that might require an armed response,” said Tom Luljak,vice chancellor for university relations and communications at UWM. As of the end of the 2007-08 school year, 11 universities around the country permit students to carry concealed weapons on campus. One of these schools is Colorado State University (CSU), located in Fort Collins, Colo., with a student population of just under 25,000. To obtain a concealed carry permit, CSU students must be over 21, pass a background check and have no prior felony convictions. While CSU students are not permitted to have guns in the dormitories and must store their handguns at the police department, they are allowed to carry concealed weapons in classrooms and around campus.

Advocates—such as the 30,000-member Students For Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC)—want the same system to be implemented in Wisconsin.

At least six schools in Wisconsin have a branch of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus: Madison Area Technical College, UW-Green Bay, UW-Platteville, Lawrence University, UW-Madison and Marquette University.

Bret Bostwick, leader of UW-Madison’s SCCC branch and president of the Wisconsin chapter of SCCC, said it’s a public safety issue.

“In light of violence on [college] campuses, a change needs to be made to allow students to protect themselves,” Bostwick said. Michael Neiduski, head of the Marquette SCCC chapter, said students who carry concealed weapons would follow the law and would not contribute to more violence on campuses.""

Good find

And good idea!

We should look into how to get in contact with them. After all, we have to win our battle for them to have any chance of winning theirs.

Wisconsin university, college or technical school SCC chapter?

And good idea! We should look into how to get in contact with them.
