Wisconsin concealed carry bill to be signed July 8 in Wausau area | Green Bay Press Gazette | greenbaypressgazette.com

Congrats! Well, I guess that leaves Illinois out there on the branch all by themselves!

Congrats WI!:congrats:

I do have one questions though...banned within 1,000 feet of a school? Wouldn't you say that's a big problem?
You might need more info on that part of the law...I'm just sayin'...:yup:

What I've read tells me that this is being changed to "on school property"

Maybe the plan for the govenor of the great state of Wisconsin is entice a large number of (law abiding) citizens to come live in Wisconsin where they can legally protect themselve. Maybe something like:

Come live in Wisconsin: Where you can actually defend yourself legally against murderous thugs.

Wisconsin: Land of the Green Bay Packers, Chesse and 9mm?

Welcome to Wisconsin: It isn't Illinois!

Just a thought.

Good for WI! Now the question is what OOS permits will they honor?

The bill says they are to honor all other states that require training (of any sort) and that issue a carry permit. Those of you from no permit required states are out of luck unless you get Florida or Utah as well.

When will it go into effect? I'm planning on going to Door County the end of July.

Can you point out that line please? What I see in the bill is:

Quote:

---

(18) RECIPROCITY AGREEMENTS. The department may
enter into reciprocity agreements with other states as to
matters relating to licenses or other authorization to carry
concealed weapons.

---

In the released FAQ it they will recognize any state permit that required a background check to obtain it.

ETA: Edited for clarity.

There will be no OOS licenses issued. Only residents will be able to get CC permits in Wisconsin.

This is the memorandum published explaining what the bill does, or does not, do.

There has been a lot of confusion in the news about this. You are not allowed to carry within 1,000ft of a school without a permit (to mirror the federal law). With the permit, they changed it to only restricting it to school grounds. The 1,000ft restriction will only apply to individuals open carrying without a permit.
