This makes me want to scream. People own guns, that’s fine (although I can’t stand the sight of them), but why is this becoming so terribly urgent? Why must gun owners carry them around, hidden, on the ready? On the ready for what? Why are they so afraid?

Oh, that’s right, the black guy in the White House is going to take their weapons away so he can rule the world and magically rid the United States of white people.

MADISON — Wisconsin’s concealed carry law isn’t even a month old, but thousands of your friends and neighbors already have permission to pack heat and they’re buying up the hardware to do it.

Wisconsin became the 49th state to allow residents to carry concealed weapons this month. Questions about liability still linger, but gun sales have increased across the state and the state Justice Department has been deluged with so many permit requests it’s already scrambling to keep up.

“Long time coming,” said Matt Slavik, 58, of Brookfield. He hand-filed applications for himself and his wife at the Justice Department’s Capitol office on the morning of Nov. 1, the first day the new law was in effect. … “It’s been wonderful, just to put the sidearm on as I start the day. I just keep it underneath my shirt and nobody knows. It’s very comfortable.”

Oooo, shhh! “Nobody knows” about his secret lethal firearm! How reassuring for the rest of us that he feels so euphoric and can start the day with a bang! smile knowing he’s got that extra comfy feeling that he can kill someone first thing in the morning!

By the way, do any of these people who are convinced that they’re keeping themselves and the rest of us so safe remember that an armed hero nearly shot an innocent man during the Gabrielle Giffords tragedy?
