Check the poll results. Most interesting.

Gov. Scott Walker, who had been silent on the specifics of a bill he would support, issued a statement that formalized his position: "If a concealed carry bill reaches my desk, it should include a permit and training provisions."

A number of concealed-carry advocates objected to the restrictions suggested by the governor and vowed to continue working to eliminate any law that restricts the right to bear guns, whether by requiring a permit or training.

A lead lobbyist with the National Rifle Association said, however, that the added provisions had support in the Legislature.

"I think the governor sees what's happening in the Legislature and where the votes are, and that's probably toward a licensing system that's very streamlined and toward a training requirement," Darren LaSorte said. "We're looking forward to moving ahead with this."
