What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

In general, under current Wisconsin law, no person may go armed with a concealed and dangerous weapon. The "going armed with" language includes cases in which a person is carrying a concealed weapon but has not gone and is not going anywhere with it and cases in which a weapon is readily accessible to a person in a car. A person who violates the prohibition may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than nine months or both. This prohibition has many exceptions. First, Wisconsin Statutes expressly exempt law enforcement officers. In addition, under State v. Hamdan , 2003 WI 113, 264 Wis. 2d 433, this prohibition is unconstitutional if applied to a person carrying a concealed weapon at his or her own business when: 1) the person's interest in carrying a concealed weapon substantially outweighs the state's interest in enforcing the concealed weapons law; 2) the person has no other reasonable means to keep and handle the weapon; and 3) the person is not motivated by an unlawful purpose in concealing it. In Hamdan , the court also indicated that the constitutional right to keep and bear arms for security allows a person to carry a concealed weapon under certain circumstances in his or her own home. Finally, under federal law, qualified law enforcement officers and qualified retired law enforcement officers may carry concealed firearms that have been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, regardless of any state prohibition. This bill eliminates the prohibition against going armed with a concealed and dangerous weapon.

Current law also prohibits, with certain exceptions, going armed with or possessing a firearm in a public building, tavern, state park, or wildlife refuge or within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school. This bill eliminates the prohibitions against going armed with or possessing a firearm in a public building or tavern but this bill adds general prohibitions against carrying weapons into a police station, sheriff's office, or state patrol station; a prison, jail, house of correction, or secured correctional facility; a courthouse; a place beyond a security checkpoint in an airport;

Read the full summary

and a building owned or leased by the state or any political subdivision of the state if the building provides electronic screening for weapons at all public entrances to the building and provides locked storage for weapons on the premises while the person carrying the weapon is in the building. This bill applies the prohibition against going armed with or possessing a firearm in a state park or a wildlife refuge only to firearms that are not handguns. This bill also limits the prohibition against going armed with or possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school only to the grounds of a school. Any federal prohibitions against guns in school zones, however, still apply.

In addition, current law prohibits, with certain exceptions, carrying a firearm, bow, or crossbow in most vehicles unless the firearm is unloaded and encased or the bow or crossbow is unstrung and encased. This bill generally eliminates the requirements that the firearm be unloaded and encased and that the bow or crossbow be unstrung and encased in order to be carried in a vehicle. The bill retains the requirement that a firearm be unloaded and encased in order to be carried on a commercial aircraft.

This bill specifies that an individual does not violate the prohibition against disorderly conduct, or does not violate any local ordinance prohibiting disorderly conduct, by loading, carrying, or going armed with a firearm without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or whether the firearm is concealed or openly carried.

This bill also repeals the current law prohibition against possessing electric weapons.
