... never sleep:
So why is the fact that Wisconsin won't punish criminals as they ought the problem for law-abiding citizens?Police say they see three main problems with the existing law, which took effect in November and made Wisconsin the 49th state to allow concealed carry:
First, straw purchases - buying a firearm for someone who is prohibited from possessing a firearm - are a misdemeanor on a state level, not a felony as they are on a federal level.
Second, the requirements for a gun permit ignore the reality of plea bargains. Many habitual criminals legally qualify for, and could obtain, a concealed-carry permit because they were never convicted of a felony for which they were charged.
[...]The third problem, police say, is that regardless of how many times people carry concealed without a permit - illegally - the offense never rises above a misdemeanor.
Talk about wanting their cake and eating it, too ...
