Slinging legal arguments that never mentioned the right to bear arms, gun rights advocates argued before the Wisconsin Supreme Court Friday for the right to carry handguns on city buses.
The dispute began when Wisconsin Carry Inc. sued the City of Madison in January 2014, challenging Madison's Transit and Parking Commission for passing a rule forbidding "weapon[s] of any kind" on Madison Metro buses, according to a case summary provided by the Supreme Court's public information office.
So far, Wisconsin Carry has been unsuccessful both in the state court and in a lower appeals court. |

Private property is not public property.
Transit buses are public property. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
