I need to know the status of long gun open carry. I read an article where one guy from Utah and two from Oregon were OCing their long guns.
This is frustrating.
You've been around OCDO a little while, long enough to realize that each state has its own laws.
Why do you think the laws of UT or OR would have anything to do with WI?
Then I noticed that one website had this to say about OC: "Despite the WI AG's ruling, some local jurisdictions treat open carry as disturbing the peace."
They used to. That website probably hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years.
As Paul pointed out, part of the cc law addressed OC not being DC.
Lastly I know that WI stats 941 has to do with preemption of firearms etc. Any other statutes on this topic?
The preemption statute is
66.0409. It covers firearms, ammunition, and reloading components. A county may impose a sales tax, and any municipality may prohibit discharge within its limits (but that can't be enforced in cases of self-defense).
Paragraph 2 says:
Except as provided in subs. (3) and (4), no political subdivision may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that regulates the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, keeping, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration or taxation of any firearm or part of a firearm, including ammunition and reloader components, unless the ordinance or resolution is the same as or similar to, and no more stringent than, a state statute.
941.23 is the ccw statute
