Gun Rights Group Challenges City Ban on Firearms and Wins

By James England

MADISON, WISCONSIN — Back in 2014, a man tried to board the bus but was denied entry because he was a legally registered concealed carrier with his handgun. Of course, the local government doesn’t have the right to supercede state law and the issue was brought to court. The Wisconsin Supreme Court just ruled in favor of the concealed carrier’s right to carry his handgun on mass transit.

Despite a legal ruling, the mayor of Madison believes he has the right to restrict basic American liberties.

“As the owner of these buses we believe we have the right to control behavior on them. We have the right to control if people play loud music, bring on dangerous animals and we see it be perfectly in our rights as property owners to be able to regulate firearms,” Mayor Paul Soglin said.

Except he doesn’t have that right. It won’t stop him from trying but with a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in favor of the individual’s rights, it could prove extremely costly for the mayor to continue to infringe on the rights of his citizens.

The charge to break the mayor’s unlawful blockade of mass transit riders was lead by Wisconsin gun-rights advocacy group Wisconsin Carry.
