What it does

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

Current law allows a resident of Wisconsin or an entity maintaining a place of business in Wisconsin to obtain a rifle or shotgun in a state that is contiguous to Wisconsin if the transfer complies with federal law and the laws of both states.
