ZIEN PLANS TO RESSURECT 'CONCEAL AND CARRY'
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005 -- 6:16 AM
Supporters of carrying concealed guns will resurrect their fight in the Legislature. Senator Dave Zien (ZEEN) of Eau Claire says he'll reintroduce the bill by July. This one will have private companies and law enforcement organizations issuing permits instead of county sheriffs. The previous concealed carry bill vetoed by the governor required sheriff's departments to do background checks of applicants. But sheriffs complained they didn't have the time or resources to do so.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
