A. Firearms
Are there restrictions on carrying a firearm on school property?
Yes. It is a felony for a person to knowingly possess a firearm (concealed or
otherwise) on the grounds of a school. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(a).
It is a forfeiture for a person to knowingly possess a firearm (concealed or
otherwise) at a place that the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe
is within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(a).
What are the exceptions?
There are a number of exceptions to the restrictions on possessing a firearm in
or on school grounds or within 1,000 feet of school grounds.
It is lawful to possess a firearm in or on the grounds of a school or within
1,000 feet of the grounds of a school as follows:
On private property that is not part of school grounds. Wis. Stat.
§ 948.605(2)(b)1m and 18 USC 922(q)(2)(B)(i).
For use in a program approved by a school in the school zone. Wis. Stat.
§ 948.605(2)(b)1m and 18 USC 922(q)(2)(B)(iv).
In accordance with a contract entered into between a school in the school
zone and the individual or an employer of the individual. Wis. Stat.
§ 948.605(2)(b)1m and 18 USC 922(q)(2)(B)(v).
By a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity. Wis. Stat.
§ 948.605(2)(b)1m and 18 USC 922(q)(2)(B)(vi).
The firearm is unloaded and is possessed by an individual while traversing
school premises for the purpose of gaining access to public or private lands
open to hunting, if the entry on the school premises is authorized by school
authorities. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)1m and 18 USC 922(q)(2)(B)(vii).
The firearm is not loaded and is encased or in a locked firearms rack that is
on a motor vehicle. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)3a and b.
By a state-certified commission warden acting in his or her official capacity.
Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)2m.
By a person legally hunting in a school forest if the school board has decided
that hunting may be allowed in the school forest. Wis. Stat.
§ 948.605(2)(b)3m.
A person who is a CCW licensee or out-of-state CCW licensee may
possess a firearm within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school, but not
in or on school grounds. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)1r.
Can a person with a CCW license or out-of-state CCW license carry a concealed weapon
in or on school grounds?
As noted above, no.
The law does not allow a CCW licensee to carry a firearm,
concealed or openly displayed, in or on school grounds
unless one of the other
statutory exceptions listed above exists and then only when in compliance with
those exceptions. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)1r.
so now i feel like i just came full circle. the way i understand it, it says that
1) with CCW i can enter "school zone"
2) i can go
in or on school grounds as long as i "have entered into contract with the school".
what am i missing, or am i actually right??? i'm really trying to understand this, but just as with alot of other rules, it seems like the more you read through the books, the more contradictions one finds.
