Operation: "Free Families From Felonies Fitz"
UPDATE: Senator Fitzgerald refused to move the School Grounds Carry bill forward. Parents will continue to risk a felony if they forget to disarm before taking kids to school/going to after school events, etc. Senator Fitzgerald brags about an A+ NRA rating, but he doesn't deserve it.
Operation "Free Families From Felonies Fitz" is underway: It is currently a FELONY for mom's and dad's to drop their kids off at school while armed. If you are carrying, and you drive ONE foot onto a school parking lot/driveway/sidewalk, you are committing a felony. Senate Bill 169 would allow "school grounds carry" in your personal vehicle. The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee and is available for scheduling. There is ONE session left in January where the Senate could take up the bill. Senator Scott Fitzgerald is the Senate Majority leader and he determines what bills will get a vote. We need to impress upon Senator Fitzgerald the importance of scheduling a vote on this bill.
Wisconsin Carry has 4 x 8 highway signs and smaller yard signs available to draw attention to this important bill.
If you live in Senator Fitzgeralds district and are willing to host a yard sign please email nik@wisconsincarry.org
Its time to protect law-abiding mothers and fathers (and other citizens with CCL's) from a felony if they accidentally drive or walk on school grounds while carrying.
We also encourage all state residents to email or call Senator Fitzgerald and ask him to schedule a vote for Senate Bill 169
