TOWN OF ONALASKA, Wis. — 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 said 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 said the picnic is open to everyone, including children and those who don't want to bring a gun.

The gun rights advocate said 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 said Hoffman is "legally entitled" to host the open carry picnic.

For every "ying" there is a "yang" - I would bet we could match every story with an opposite!!

This was done in Ohio when towns could outlaw CCW in public parks. Now that the State Supreme Court told towns that our CCW law is a General Law and that it supercedes home rule powers, there's no need to do it.

...Sunday's picnic at Marvin Gardens Park in the Town of Onalaska...

so my only question is, was the park named after the monopoly property, or vice versa?
