IT IS ILLEGAL TO CARRY IN MILWAUKEE,

I don't know what you are all talking about. There is a municipal statute in milwaukee that outlaws anyone but a cop from carrying concealed OR OPENLY carrying a weapon.

Municipal Ordinance: 105.34: "...it shall be unlawful for any person to go armed with any firearm on or about their person within the city, unless the firearm is both unloaded and enclosed within a carrying case"

This ordinance is SEPERATE from the conceal carry ordinance.

If you try to open carry in milwaukee the police CAN and WILL arrest you under this statute.

Don't be stupid.

Please note: it is illegal to carry in just about every other city within 300 miles of milwaukee.  Please reference your city's municipal code before carrying.

As a law student who is currently working for a law firm, I wanted to get a process server/private investigator license to better help in my daily tasks...when I read the municipal ordinances against carrying...I changed my mind.  Even private investigators cannot carry in most circumstances.

here is point 4a of your pre-emption statute:

"4)(a) Nothing in this section prohibits a political subdivision from continuing to enforce an ordinance or resolution that is in effect on November 18, 1995, and that regulates the sale, purchase, 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, if the ordinance or resolution is the same as or similar to, and no more stringent than, a state statute."


the state constitutiuon is NOT a state statute...that is why 4a allows municipalities to regulate open carry.  I am not telling you my politics...but from reading some of the posts here, people are mis-informed about the law so I am just giving warning.

You are missing my whole point...

You can read all of "Chapter 941. Crimes Against Public Health and Safety" and you won't find any laws regarding open carry. (you will obvioiusly find ones against conceal carry"

Therefore, a municipality is not regulating more stringent than any state statute with regard to open carry because there IS NO state statute regarding allowing carry.

Smithman,

you said: "There is no state statue against OC, so a locality's law against carrying a gun is more stringent! Therefore unenforceable!"

That is not how federalism works my friend....if there is no state law against something, it is left to the municipalities and counties...just as where there is no federal law, it is assumed to be left to the states.
