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!

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 . Maybe some day... One thing is for sure, I stay as far away from that communist state Illinios!
