Hey everyone it's been a while since I posted. I just wanted to ask a quick question and see if you guys can't help me out.
I am 20 years old, and according to the information I have been given, I am legal to open carry my .45, which I do. I am curious however where the statute is that says that open carry is legal at 18 in case a LEO ever stops me and gets confused with the CCW law saying you must be 21. I've seen countless OC stop videos where the cop asks the OCer for a concealed weapons permit, when it has nothing to do with Oc in WI. I'd just like to be able to say more than "It's legal at 18 in WI".
I OC because it's the only legal way I can carry my firearm in public, and also because I feel that it's my civic duty to lead by example and show that OC is important to secure our rights. When I am 21 and have my CCW permit I will do both. But until then there is no way I'm going into public places and being disarmed because the law says I can't carry concealed without a license. My self defense is more important to me than maybe scaring someone because I have a visible gun on my hip.
Thanks guys.
