About time! Born and raised in ol' Wisco! Been following the bill for a while. My understanding is they will honor Colorado's CCW permit! For a state that has the 3rd largest army in the world, if you count all the rifles in the woods during the week of deer season, it's a wonder it took so long!! I'll drink a leine's to that! [Beer]

Born and raised in WI also. Back then I never realized how restrictive the state was. About time for this.

Now we just need to get a group together to go beat some sense into the FIB's to the south of WI.

I hear ya. I am going back to Iowa on Monday to visit my father. I like that they recognize our Colorado permit...however sometimes my dad & I will travel up to Minnesota for some fishing and I have to leave the blaster at home :mad:. Maybe some day... One thing is for sure, I stay as far away from that communist state Illinios!

Get a Utah non-resident permit, that will cover you for Minnesota. You would need a Utah certified class/instructor, but the Utah permit is only 65.50 for the first 5 years and $10 for renewal. There are a lot of Utah classes here in the Denver area, I took a combined Utah/Colorado class with Profire a couple of years back, about 10 hours on a Sunday.

I was born & grew up in south, central Illinois (a long time ago). All farm community, mid-west, conservative values. Every once in a while you'd hear something about Chicago wanting to be become it's own state. General consensus was, "Hell yeah!!! Get rid of those idiots and leave the rest of Illinois alone so some common sense can prevail!".
