Less than a week after Gov. Scott Walker signed Wisconsin's first-ever concealed-carry bill into law, some law enforcement officials are raising concerns that the law would put police officers' safety at risk.
"It is outrageous when, hiding behind a constitutional right, special interest groups' paranoia and extreme views put our officers at risk when they are simply trying to do their sworn duty and remain as safe as possible," said Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco in a news release Wednesday. "The present prohibition endangers the officers upon whom we depend for public safety, and reflects the extreme agenda and paranoia of the National Rifle Association and other gun lobbying groups that advanced these provisions. What are they afraid of?"
