In a 6-1 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court rules a man doesn't have the right to carry a gun in his own home while drunk. -- via @proofhearsaybit.ly/3tibKzu
The lone dissent came from @JudgeBradleyWI , who found state law violated Mitchell Christen's right to carry a gun in his own home "in case of confrontation," even if he was drunk.
The majority disagreed because the jury found Christen was not using the gun for self defense.
Some context:
Christen drank four beers and a shot. He had a gun in his waistband, which made his roommates and visitors nervous. Someone punched Christen and took his gun. He went to his room, got another gun and called 911.
He then got charged with carrying while drunk.

Sen. @JonErpenbach tells Republicans they are shaming people by referring to the Medicaid program BadgerCare Plus as welfare.
@repborn shoots back: "This is basic English words that are used to define these programs. ... I will tell it like it is and that is what this is."
Expanding Medicaid would boost Wisconsin's budget by $1.6 billion over two years because the federal government would pay for more of the state's health-care costs.
Born says Republicans who control the Legislature won't accept "a billion-dollar bribe."
With his comments last week, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said the upper house would not approve bills allowing recreational or medical marijuana.
“They are meeting all the goals that we have set,” Vos said of Foxconn. “But again Gov. Evers is playing politics with this.”
“Foxconn is making concessions because they are having their back up against the wall even though they are meeting the goals that were set by the last administration and by the legislation we enacted,” Vos said, referring to the original deal cut by @ScottWalker.
"The governor doesn’t seem to want to keep the state’s deal, which is why he’ll come forward with a new proposal," Vos said.
But Vos said he thought Foxconn is committed to its project and likely would not leave the state.
'My kids deserve to eat': Wisconsin officials fail to get food aid to thousands of poor children bit.ly/321kLla
Wisconsin has failed to send food assistance to tens of thousands of poor children who are supposed to be getting extra help because they have been learning at home during the coronavirus pandemic.
Under a federal program created last spring, the families of students who qualify for subsidized meals in Wisconsin schools are supposed to receive $6.82 to cover food for every day their children are not in school buildings and are instead learning virtually.
