Wisconsin CCW reprocity

[Grizz2720]

Just got a list of the states that Wisconsin will accept for reciprocity for CCW. This came from my State Senator and listed the states most likely to be acceptable. PA is one of them. The list is 35 states long, so just about all the CCW states are included. Gov. Walker is signing the bill tomorrow and the bill will go into effect Nov 1. After all is said and done. Open carry anywhere except law enforcement offices, court rooms, prisons, and past the security checkpoints at airports. We have a state GFSZ law that is 1000'. Inside the GFSZ it must be concealed and a permit is required. What this means is almost all of Milwaukee and Milwaukee county will be concealed only. Madison (Dane County) and Green Bay will also fall into this GFSZ area and be concealed carry only with a permit.

Congratulations on Wisconsin implementing the 2nd amendment in their country.

Congratulations. It's not perfect, but what is, right. It's a whole lot better than what you had, and moving in the right direction.

I love your location (Frozen Tundra, Wisconsin). LOL. I lived in Crandon and Newald, all about 20 miles from Rhinelander, back in 93-94. I am guessing you live in that area, too. My daughter and her mother live in Tomahawk.

Anyway, to get to my point, I am glad that WI FINALLY has a CCW. It is a long time in coming. Even back then, I wanted to carry concealed, but obviously could not, while my home state and quite a few others allowed that. I am really surprised it took this long. I always thought that under Tommy Thompson's governorship, that it might become a reality back then, but obviously, the state legislature, all the way until now, thought otherwise.

Congrats on finally being allowed to CC.

Here goes I was afraid some one would ask.
al,ak,az,co,de,ga,ia,id,in,ks,ky,la,mi,ms,mo,mt,ne ,ne,nm,nc,nd,oh,ok,PA,sc,sd,tn,tx,ut,va,wv,wy,and FL. I hope the shake out period will not be to long. I am sure some LEO's will have opinions on all of this. There are some penalties the LEO's will have to look out for if they get to stupid. I would love to set in on the training secession that will come out when the law goes into effect.

[Grizz2720]

Well Gov. Walker signed our CCW bill today as expected. The immediate change in the law is the LEO's can no longer charge you with disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace just by carrying a gun. A good start.

Is this written in a statute somewhere or just conjecture?

Here is the bill.... WI SB 93...

A lot of cross referencing in it...

I do like this line...

(d) For purposes of 18 USC 922 (q) (2) (B) (ii), an out−of−state licensee is licensed by this state.
