Last night, I attended a Buffalo City
Wisconsin Council meeting and was met at the door with a NO GUNS
sign. When my turn to speak arrived, I addressed some concerns I
had with building permits. Folks were friendly, even jovial... when
I finished, I asked about the NO GUNS sign. The mood and tone of
the meeting immediately took on an austere, astringent cast... The
temperature in the room seemed to drop appreciably.
I was told, erroneously, that it was
because it was a government building. In Wisconsin, government
buildings are not required to be no gun. There are a few notable
exceptions such as court houses, sheriff's or police stations etc.
but this was not one of them.
When I pressed to find out whether it
had been decided by vote, and if so, who voted, one of the council
members became angry, agitated and told me my time was up and I
should leave. He said there would be no further discussion on the
subject and that the city attorney would be contacting me by mail. I
was not allowed to speak any further.
I was also told by Lisa Schuh; Alderperson (Phone: 248-2528; Email: lisa.schuh@buffalocounty.com , that in Wisconsin, guns were not allowed in polling places. Either she was legitimately mistaken, simply didn't know, or lied. In Wisconsin, there is no law banning guns from polling places. I would recommend that Ms. Schuh discontinue rewriting Wisconsin law to fit her own reality.

This is the same individual; Brock
Seitz, who; while serving on the Tri-City Recycling Center Board,
arbitrarily put NO GUN signs up at the Recycling Center. This
having been done in a closed meeting of the Board (illegally) and
mainly pushed by this fellow. A die-hard liberal. At one time,
chaired the Buffalo County Democratic Election Committee.
I enjoined the services of an attorney
at that time, who was more than happy to write a letter of inquiry
and a request to remove the sign. I also asked my fellow open and
concealed carriers in Wisconsin to call and give their opinions.
The letter and calls were more than enough to motivate them to take
the sign down directly.
Hopefully, the same will happen here.
Please call and ask why the sign is in place and who voted to put it
there.
If you are interested... His name and
phone are here:
Brach
Seitz,Council
President (Phone:
608-248-2694; Email: bseitz@mwt.net)
