The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

"WisPolitics: Senate committee approves conceal carry bill
5/26/2011

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill Wednesday to allow the carrying of concealed weapons.

The committee voted 3-2 along party lines in favor of the bill, which wouldn't require a permit for concealed carry. A substitute amendment by bill author Sen. Pam Galloway, R-Wausau (left), establishes an optional license that would allow concealed carry in other states that allow it.

The committee also unanimously backed amendments by Galloway to prohibit concealed carry while municipal courtrooms are in session and to allow judges to suspend the optional licenses.

Galloway said she's concerned for her constituents’ self-defense and for business owners in her primarily rural district.

"The police can't be everywhere, and the sheriff can't be everywhere," Galloway said.

Republicans rejected two Dem amendments to the concealed carry bill: one to require at least 10 hours of gun training and another seeking to ban concealed weapons from more facilities.

"Training is extremely important to us," said Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Waunakee. He emphasized that every gun owner he knows is responsible, but that "we've changed state law because of small groups of people before."

Galloway said she was personally opposed to a training mandate, saying, "It's just hard to legislate responsibility."

Erpenbach also sought to change the facility exemption amendment to ban concealed weapons in the Capitol only. Galloway objected to that change, which was upheld by committee chairman Rich Zipperer, R-Pewaukee, citing precedent of 24 hours' notice for amendments.

Galloway said while the issue in the Capitol and other government buildings would be up to those with oversight of the facilities, she'd be open to allowing both concealed and open carry in the Capitol."

This law  means the people packing heat in MN will be able to pack heat in WI when it passes and Walker signs it.  Life will never be the same on Garbin Moraine.
