My post on Thursday, regarding the 2 men openly carrying AR-15 rifles at a farmers market in Appleton, WI has received a lot of attention. Over 2,500 people viewed the post and there were more than 225 comments and replies on the thread.
The comments were a mixture of both supporters and critiques of the 2 men. Radio stations and TV news have been talking about the incident and some have called for more gun control as a result, while others took not of the legal right to openly carry in Wisconsin.
Weighing in on NewsRadio 620 KTMJ is Sheriff Clarke who suggested that the actions of these 2 men may have set back the efforts of Gun proponents in a “look at me moment.” Clarke acknowledges their right to carry openly, but questions their motivations and said their actions, “hurt the movement,” referring to the pro-gun movement.
Listen to Clarke’s interview here:
Clark closed the interview by saying, “This whole thing could have been prevented by these 2 clowns using their heads.”

Idiots. That is what these two guys were. Idiots! They just set back gun rights efforts by doing something stupid! I am licensed to carryand I make every effort to conceal my weapon to NOT give cause to the anti gun establishment. Maybe these two idiots were working for the anti gun nuts?? They definitely made a lot of people, who may have been on the fence, angry enough to go to the anti gun movement.
I don’t know who these two were but I agree with Clark whe he said “Why”? I also agree with the fact they wanted attention. Maybe their mommy didn’t give them enough when they were little?
