The same tired arguments I heard when WI instituted "shall issue" CC several years ago have been dusted off by the usual suspects and are now being spouted by the media in alarmist tones.

Thirteen other states currently have permitless (Constitutional) carry and I have yet to hear about any widespread problems. If instituted in WI, I don't think things would be any different here.

The current "training" requirements for obtaining a CCL in WI is minimal. For instance a hunters safety certificate (which deals little if any with handguns and not at all for self defense) satisfies the training requirement. No live fire/fingerprints/photos are required. Applications and renewals are inexpensive, can be completed on line and are processed rapidly.

In the 5 1/2 years since passage of shall issue in WI, very few problems with licensed CC holders have been reported. Certainly no more so than other states with more "stringent" training requirements.
