    VW Dealer that is not posted?

    Anyone know of a VW dealer that is not posted in the madison/milwaukee area? Zimbrick in Madison is posted but the sign is very hard to see from outside. Boucher in Janesville is posted according to friendorfoe.us so I would assume the other Boucher locations are as well. EVS? Hall?

    Reciprocity for out of staters?

    I noticed on the list of states with permits recognized by Wisconsin, Missouri is not listed. Anyone know why? I have friends there who said they did have to pass a background check and take an 8-hour course. This should be sufficient for Wisconsin to recognize their permits...

    Looking for a place to shoot.

    I will be visiting family in Grafton and Belgium this weekend. Are there any open public ranges in the area I could go to perforate some paper with handguns and rifles? It's been a while since I lived there and the places I used to go are now all posted as no discharge of firearms. I googled...

    MC Sports (Madison) posted

    I went to MC Sports on Verona Road in Madison today to check out their handgun selection. They usually don't have a lot but the prices are good and they told me they could order anything. Anyway, I noticed next to the front door where I had not seen it in the past, the sign starting with "For...

    I have been thinking, would a lock box attached to the vehicle be legal for transport under our current regulations? There is a product called Secure Console or something like that (custom made for my vehicle by Console Vault http://www.consolevault.us/index.php) which turns a center console...

    Thanks for the hospitality

    Hey, Colorado, I'm from Wisconsin but just took a vacation out your way. I carried through the Garden of the Gods park, and up to Pike's Peak. Then on to Silverton for a few days of Jeeping. My sidearm didn't leave my hip almost the entire week I was in your beautiful state, only took it off...

    Watch out for who may be at the door

    imported post I just read this in the Cap Times online. There's a story like this nearly daily at the CT/WSJ about some kind of attempted home invasion or otherwise violent crime in the Madison area. But we don't need to protect ourselves...

    imported post For mothers day, my wife wanted to go to the Coach outlet in Lake Delton. I OC'd through the mall and even had a very pleasant clerk help me try on jackets in one the stores. The Coach store was packed and no one seemed to care about the firearm on my hip. I think itcertainly...

    I was asked to disarm today

    imported post I went shopping today at the Gander Mountain in DeForest. This is where I purchased my most recent sidearm just three months ago; and it was that salesman who made me aware of the whole open carry thing in the first place. (I had heard rumors previously, but that's when I started...

    Statitics?

    imported post I got into a debate today at work with a couple of hardcore anti's. They were claiming that it is 30x more likely that your kids or someone you know will be hurt accidently with your own gun than using it for defense. I told them that number was contrived by groups who are...

    Carried last night.

    imported post I carried around the yard and house last night, including a visit to the neighbors. Nothing unusual to report other than it will take some getting used to. Being in Madison, I am not quite willing to go out on the town yet. I got the "you look like a dork" from the wife (she's...
