Title: welcome sign
Post by: mkd on March 22, 2013, 08:02:46 AM: wisconsin a little over one year ago passed a conceal carry law and illinois just to the south of us has some of the toughest gun laws in the united states. wisconsin has a new welcome sign for visitors at the illinois/wisconsin state line.

Hard to believe any state would spend taxpayer money to put up such a sign. If it is real then my compliments to Wisconsin.
