We discuss the details, and chat with a farm economist about the business of agriculture. Also, the top national political stories of the week get a closer look.

Proposed Bill Would Allow Wisconsinites To Carry A Concealed Weapon Without Training Or Permit

Download

Legislation circulated in Wisconsin would allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit or training. The bill would also end the state’s ban on tasers and would let some people bring guns onto federal gun-free school zones. It would make Wisconsin a “constitutional carry” state that lets people carry weapons without having to register with the state or pay government fees. Supporters say this bill puts Wisconsin’s concealed carryy law in line with the state’s policy that lets people openly carry without training or permits. Those against the bill say it’s irresponsible and dangerous. We talk to a national gun control expert about this bill and how other states handle concealed carry laws.
