MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn and Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm vigorously opposed the concealed carry legislation currently being considered in Madison during a news conference on Milwaukee's north side Thursday.

Chief Flynn called the measure "reckless and foolish" as well as "chaotic."

The chief, speaking from the site of an officer involved shooting near 39th and Clarke, called for Gov. Walker to take leadership on the issue.

"We cannot afford a reckless bill," he said. "The D.A. and I are both calling for a bill that has a strict permitting process that keeps criminals and substance abusers away from dangerous weapons and that makes it a felony crime to carry a weapon without a permit."

2 officers were involved in a running shoot-out last night and Chief Flynn is pissed.
