I don't know why this kinda surprised me, especially from a GOP Presidential Candidate, but it did.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed two new gun bills into law today. He was slated to sign them earlier this month, but held off a few days in light of the church shooting massacre in Charleston.
One bill Walker signed eliminates the state's 48-hour waiting period on handgun purchases. The other allows retired officers carry guns on school property.
Walker was joined by Republican lawmakers and families that supported the measures, which had bipartisan support in passing the state Legislature earlier this month.
Personally, I think 48 hours is a very reasonable wait time for a weapon (or "tool", for those who prefer) and don't think retired police officers should be given preferential carry privileges.
Ah well, it'll probably help him garner more NRA donations and maybe pick up a few more votes.
