Why did the WI Republican cross the road...?

This sounds like a bad joke, but it's not.  The Milwaukee Common Council voted Tues. to allow residents to keep chickens if and only if the chicken owners get permission from all their neighbors and also pay for a permit.  The Wisconsin Senate Judiciary Committee votes Wed. to recommend that the state allow residents to keep concealed guns without any training or even obtaining a permit of any kind (previous post here).

That means, in the very near future of our state's largest city, it will be more restrictive to keep a chicken than it will be to keep a concealed weapon.

Does that sound right to you?

  1. Yes. I hate this whole stupid Chicken Thing. With a passion. And if necessary...a gun

  2. So you will be able to shoot your neighbors chickens without any hassles? Republicans are on top of all the important issues!

  4. Anonymous (#2), just so you know, I'm the friend Man MKE quoted in the post you listed above (so this was the original post, not the other way around). Either way, no-restriction concealed carry is definitely very bad news for our state.
