As Brad Krause planted a tree in his yard last summer, a neighbor noticed that in addition to a shovel, Krause had a tool not usually required for yard work - a gun in a holster.
Police arrived and gave Krause a ticket alleging disorderly conduct, launching a case that a national gun-rights group has been watching for months.
On Tuesday, Krause won acquittal in what some advocates say is one of the first so-called open-carry gun cases heard in a Wisconsin court.
There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with slight capitalization and punctuation differences, found in the official documents surrounding the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
[4] One such version was passed by the Congress, which reads:[5]
“ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ”
Another version is found in the copies distributed to the states, and then ratified by them, which had this capitalization and punctuation:[6]
“ A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

DO YOU NOTICE THE PART THAT SAYS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
The police, the DA and anyone else that helped with this travesty of justice should not be sued. They should be arrested for infringing on a citizen's constitutional rights.

Cos planting a tree while packing a handgun is, well an odd thing to do.
If it was the sort of nice neighbourhood where you can lean over the fence and chat to your neighbours (like where I live) I would of been like 'so your planting a tree?' "yup"... 'So nice gun...?' "yup"
In other 'hoods' someone digging while carrying a gun can take on a whole other meaning, burying drugs, money, stolen goods, bodies??
