WI honors PA

[mrjam2jab]

Can't find the original WI thread...but as of Nov 1, 2011 WI will honor the PA LTCF.

WI DOJ

Out-of-state Licenses Recognized in Wisconsin
Licensees from any of the listed states will be recognized in Wisconsin as an out-of-state licensee per Sec. 175.60 (1)(g) Wis. Stats. This was determined based on the statutory requirement in s. 165.25 (12) that the listed state requires, or designates that the holder chose to submit, to a background search that is comparable to Wisconsin’s background check in s. 175.60 (1)(ac). Wisconsin’s background check includes only two components (1) A criminal history record search; (2) A search of the national instant criminal background check system (NICS). If another states background check meets the same requirements a Wisconsin resident must meet, the DOJ has recognized that state. The DOJ has tried to be as inclusive as possible and will periodically check and update the list if other states can be added. This list is current as of 10/18/11:

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands

ETA: I think that list should be quite a bit larger....

That would be nice, to have another state on the potential vacation list. Too bad I'd have to go through shit states to get there though.

So, Wisconsin folks could not carry at all before?

I see they do not take apps from non residents.

Nice to see a "red" state turn blue.



Now if we could get the rest of the map to turn blue ....

If you get a Utah or Florida permit, you could drive through Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and take the ferry to Milwaukee.

For Illinois all you have to do is transport under FOPA at max. At minimum all you have to do is unload the gun and put it in a closed console or glovebox under Illinois law. Illinois' transport laws is actually friendlier than PA's.

I had come to this thread expecting that WI would have honored PA for its long life respecting the right to bear arms. Born in 1776, the constitutional right to bear arms lived well until 1850, when Pennsylvania became severely ill upon the passage of the first gun control law by the General Assembly. The right to bear arms died in Pennsylvania on March 1st, 1875, when such a law was upheld by SCOPA. I suspected WI would be giving a late eulogy. Pennsylvania lived to be almost 100 years old, especially long for the era.

May you rest in peace, good Commonwealth.
