Huzzah For Jarosh!

Just as I was starting to lose hope, there is news of at least one sane elected official in this state, St. Francis Alderman Ted Jarosh:
An alderman who hunts and owns guns plans to seek an ordinance to limit the open carrying of firearms in the city.

Ted Jarosh, who describes himself as a strong defender of the right to own and legally carry guns, said last week he will ask the city attorney Tuesday whether the city could classify certain acts of so-called open carry as disturbing the peace.

[...]

Jarosh, 52, a nine-year alderman and president of Kyle Central Credit Union in South Milwaukee, said he wants to prohibit the open carry of guns when there is no apparent purpose for doing so.

"Carrying a firearm just to incite the public or prove that you have the right to do it, that is a misuse of the law," Jarosh said.

What a breath of fresh air, especially after the miasma spewed from Van Hollen, who only wears a kilt to facilitate his habit of cranial-rectum insertions.

Unfortunately, this will only set off another round of foaming at the mouth of the fearful and fear-monger right wingers.

  2. "....this will only set off another round of foaming at the mouth of the fearful and fear-monger right wingers."

    Nope. His proposal is patently un-constitutional in Wisconsin.

    So let him play in his sandbox, pretending to be useful.

  4. I think that there may be an argument for some restriction.
