Ok, had a conversation with someone yesterday who recently took her WI CCL requirement course (not WCI, sorry for any confusion), and she stated that her instructor told the class that you could carry (CC/OC) a firearm in your car in a school parking lot, as long as you don't exit the vehicle with the firearm, due to parking lots being exempt from posting.
Now, that's completely backwards from how I read and understood the law. The way I understood it, as long as the parking lot is within school property (grounds) the pistol must be unloaded/encased before entrance to that area.
I have to admit I'm getting confused at this point and I'd really hate to see someone get hung up on this. If I'm mistaken I'll gladly eat my words, specially since it'll make it so much easier for me to drop off/pick up
my kids at/from school if I don't have to pull over and unload/encase before driving onto the property.
I'm getting my reasoning from the CCW FAQ, which is all I could find quickly. I generally hate FAQs, but at least it cites Wis. Stat. 948.605(2)(b)1r
So if someone could clarify if I'm mistaken or correct I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
