And I'm pretty happy about that, but I couldn't have done it without you and my freelance writers.
Over the past five months Caledonia Patch has offered readers over a 1,000 stories, videos and photo galleries since we emerged on December 21. Thousands of you keep coming back to read and comment.

Jerry Mojeck says he's already trained his employees on concealed carry.
The prospect of Wisconsin becoming one of the latest and last states to enact a law that allows citizens to carry a concealed weapon has piqued the interest of Caledonia resident Jerry Mojeck. Mojeck is the vice-president of Twin Cities Security in West Allis. His firm specializes in private detective work and security detail for clients throughout the area. The firm also operates a training school that is geared toward public safety and security training.

"I'm a person that believes in exercising your right to carry your firearm. I do believe in a permitting purpose, because I think it is important to verify people's backgrounds to make sure that they are in the state of mind to carry a firearm."
