Clarke Jr. told a crowd of more than 100 people who on Sunday had packed Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall on Milwaukee's south side.The crowd had gathered to attend a concealed carry class at Kochanski's, the tavern where owner Andy Kochanski shot and killed a man who tried to rob the business at gunpoint a week and a half ago.Prosecutors announced last week that they would not charge Kochanski because he acted in defense of himself and two customers, but Kochanski has not yet received his gun back, Clarke said.Clarke added that he intends to lobby some legislators to mandate expedited return of such weapons."They're taking his freedom away to possibly have to act again tonight," Clarke said.Clarke received national attention recently for radio spots in which he encouraged residents to arm and defend themselves. He stressed that he didn't mean to indicate that people shouldn't call police, only that they should be prepared to take matters into their own hands first because police can't be everywhere and don't show up right away.Clarke was joined Sunday by radio talk show host Vicki McKenna.McKenna said she's 45, single and 5 feet 3 inches tall and carries a gun to defend herself against potential attackers who may be much bigger than herself. She called it an "equalizer.""It isn't something to hurt people with, it's som迷你倉thing to defend yourself with," she said. "If you are a woman, if you are a senior and you are not someone who can take on a man like this ... you don't have a lot of choices."Lynn Ross, 31, of Wauwatosa said she attended Sunday's free concealed carry training, put on by Wisconsin Carry, to be able to defend herself and her family. She grew up in Alaska, where guns were a normal part of everyday life."I have two little girls. They're 11 years old. They have fired weapons. They know how to handle a weapon. I don't want them to feel they have no defense system at all," she said.Ross was happy to see the training was attended by a diverse group of people, of various ethnicities and ages, spanning from twentysomething women to seventysomething men."I'm very glad to see the diversity because maybe the criminal will think twice," she said. "If you knew (who carries a gun), it would be an easier target."Most of the attendees interviewed by the Journal Sentinel said the recent rash of violence in Milwaukee was not a factor in them signing up for the class, but Raymond Jackson, 22, said he would feel more confident he'd be able to defend himself, his sister and her three children in their home on Milwaukee's north side once he's able to carry a gun."It's been a lot of killings going on for no reason," he said. "If I have a license to carry, I can defend my life."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Visit the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at .jsonline.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存倉
