Beginning in 1868, after the Civil War, the holiday was established to honor the Americans who died fighting for the United States. Some 150 years later, the day lives on as a reminder to commemorate and honor the people who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country.
“Memorial Day" isn't just about honoring veterans, it's honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.” Pete Hegseth


All gave some - some gave it all
Thank a veteran for your freedom!

ATTENTION CCW PERMIT HOLDERS

Your CCW license records are treated as open records in Racine County

Recent events have exposed the Racine County Sheriff's Office routinely releasing CCW license information to nosey citizens in direct violation of Wisconsin state statutes.

Want to know who is packing heat ? 
Just ask Chris Schmaling or John Harahan or any sheriff deputy in Racine county. 
Scofflaw Schmaling

According to information from a lieutenant within the department, it is within department policy to release CCW licensee information to nosey and inquiring minds. This CCW open records policy of the sheriff's office is in blatant disregard of the law. 

CCW statutes are very specific to protect the privacy and identities of law abiding CCW licensee's.

This is serious folks, The sheriff's office has breached the public trust of Racine County citizens who carry by violating the very laws that are put into place to protect law abiding citizens.

If you live in Ashland or Appleton and want to know who's packing? Call the Racine County Sheriff Office where CCW records are handled as public records.

Your information is not safe and secure due to the scofflaw's Sheriff Schmaling and Deputy Sheriff Hanrahan's interpretation of the law.

A complaint has been directly filed into the Racine County District Attorney's office (Patricia Hanson) and with Racine County Corporation Counsel  (Michael Lanzdorf) seeking an immediate stop to this CCW open records policy of the sheriff department.

CCW law does not provide any relief to the aggrieved, so
the complaint further request the county to censure Schmaling and Hanrahan for their misconduct of office.

Below is from the DOJ frequently asked questions about CCW concerning the access, use and release of information.
