Bring Your Gun, Get Free Brats and Burgers
TOWN OF ONALASKA, Wis. (AP) -- A picnic open to the public at a park in La Crosse County will offer free brats and hamburgers and an invitation to bring your gun.
Organizer Hubert Hoffman says Sunday's picnic at Marvin Gardens Park in the Town of Onalaska celebrates a recent opinion from state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen that citizens who openly carry firearms should not be cited for disorderly conduct.
Hoffman says the picnic is open to everyone, including children and those who don't want to bring a gun.
The gun rights advocate says it's a way to let the public know that openly carrying a firearm isn't dangerous or risky.
La Crosse County sheriff's Capt. Mike Horstman says Hoffman is "legally entitled" to host the open carry picnic.
