Wisconsin trial court dismisses CCW charge
Posted by David Hardy · 15 February 2011 12:45 PM
Story here. Defendant was carrying a handgun in his car, a few days after having been robbed at gunpoint, and was then searching for his stolen car, in a high crime area. The handgun was unloaded, although he had a magazine at hand. The court ruled that the statute was unconstitutional as applied to someone in this situation.

I think you meant robbed at gunpoint rather than armed. Still, thanks for a good bit of news for a change!
Dam...how does it take them to upload a PDF file.
Milwaukee County Case Number 2010CM001978
Good decision, as far as it goes, and will fuel a shall-issue bill in Wisconsin ...
I think you meant robbed at gunpoint, though if a robber was gentlemanly enough as to provide me with a pistol as to make this a more evenly matched encounter, I might just have to turn over my wallet just on general principle.
