      tbf it was only illegal because it wasn't concealed, concealed firearms are legal in the capitol building! Wisconsin is a crazy place

      and the second gun wasn't (seemingly?) even illegal, since he was outside the building and open carrying it, but the concealed baton in his backpack that he voluntarily let them search was.

      The guy went into the capitol shirtless with a gun demanding to see the governor about some nonsense, he clearly isn't okay, mentally, but I don't really see him as obvious fash either
