"Five members of Wisconsin Carry Inc., a state firearms rights group in Wisconsin, were legally open carrying in their local Culvers restaurant when a dreaded "man with a gun" call was made to the local police."

Here's the link to the actual article:  http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/7450

They even include a copy of the actual 911 call.

Wow. Listened to the entire 911 call at the link the story gave, the lady placing the call even was apologetic when she was informed what they were doing was perfectly legal. This is nonsense.

Guys, the link includes a way to donate to the legal defense of the citizens involved.  I know times are tough, but try to send a shekel or two their way.  I'm sure we're all aware that open carry in Nebraska is probably just as delicate, especially in the People's Democratic Republics of Lincoln and Omaha. 

Hopefully the Wisconsin judiciary has more sense than their law enforcement.

I donated a few bucks.  I hope the same would happen if I needed to defend myself in a similar situation.
