MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee lawmaker is
proposing to make gas stations off limits to Wisconsin residents
carrying concealed weapons, even if they have a permit.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Josh Zepnick
said many station owners, employees and customers are among his
constituents and have been victims of violent crime.
The Democrat says he's attended the
funerals of two gas station workers killed while on the job, but he says
he knows passing the bill is a long shot in the Republican-controlled
Legislature.
Nik Clark, chairman of Wisconsin Carry,
predicts the bill has absolutely no chance of passage in Wisconsin, and
that the trend nationally is to expand where those with permits can
legally carry guns.
