Wisconsin Culver's gunslingers secure their rights

Five pistol-packin' strangers recently scared the dickens out of a 62-year-old woman at a Madison Culver's, and she called the cops.

But now the cops are the ones who are in trouble.

They'd walked into a piece of Second Amendment street theater and not an armed stand off. But they didn't know that until they demanded some ID and explanation from the gunslingers.

It turns out that cops can't do that in Wisconsin, and these officers were set up by Wisconsin Carry, a gun rights group, to show cheeseheads they live in an oppressive police state.

And just to drive the point home, Wisconsin Carry is now suing the city of Madison and its police chief, claiming the cops engaged in a "blatant and defenseless violation of the rights of law-abiding citizens."

Those officers really should have known the guys packing heat were law abiding, just by sniffing the air for their good intentions.

And we'd like to congratulate members of Wisconsin Carry on securing their Second Amendment rights, while scaring ButterBurger fans.
