MADISON (AP) - Republican Gov. Scott Walker issued an executive order Tuesday authorizing Wisconsin National Guard personnel to carry firearms while on duty in the wake of an attack on a pair of military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The governor's order directed Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, who oversees the Wisconsin National Guard, to arm guard personnel "as reasonably necessary."
