A Clark County judge dismisses a concealed carry case after finding it unconstitutional.
The public defender who filed the motion to dismiss says he thinks it could be the first dismissal of its kind in Wisconsin. Bill Poss, an assistant state public defender for Clark and Jackson Counties, says the ruling will certainly set a precedent in Clark County. He says he was actually waiting for a case like this to come up so he could work to get it thrown out.
