Shotgun,

With all due respect, I have to disagree, somewhat.

Here is the link to Wis. Statute 175.60: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/175/60?view=section

While this section of the statutes, is primarily intended to describe the Concealed License applications, processing, requirements and such, it does have some prohibitions directly in it, as well as penalties, up to an H felony for an instructor who submits false documents.

Subsection 16 PROHIBITED ACTIVITY has areas you are NOT allowed to carry: airport secured areas, courthouses, jails, police stations, secure mental health facility, etc.

Subsection 17 PENALTIES

----------------------------------------------

Here is what I find the most unusual subsection, because it spells out where a licensee MAY CARRY, whereas most statutes use a format of "you are prohibited from ..." followed by a list of exceptions to the prohibition "CCL licensees, Law Enforcement Officers, etc."


175.60(2g) Carrying a concealed weapon; possession and display of license document or authorization.

175.60(2g)(a) A licensee or an out-of-state licensee may carry a concealed weapon anywhere in this state except as provided under subs. (15m) and (16) and ss. 943.13 (1m) (c) and 948.605 (2) (b) 1r.
...

If you open the below link, you will be able to click on the statute references, and view the four pieces of statute that are EXCEPTIONS to the above "A licensee may carry" paragraph 175.60(2g)(a)

You're right about those other provisions, I should have made it clear that I was limiting my "doesn't criminalize" comment about what constitutes a weapon. By defining what is allowed to be carried concealed with a license, it does not entail that anything else that is carried is automatically illegal when concealed and one has no license.
