If I remember correctly, there were several of you who lived within these supposed "school" zones. Please contact me via PM if you live within a school zone.

Thank you,

I wonder if Gonzales (when at Menard's) was in a school zone, or it just didn't occur to them to charge him with a school zone violation. :?

Wouldn't matter, the Menard's parking lot, like most businesses, is PRIVATE property.

I carry regularly in a Festival Foods store, the entire store is within the School Zone restriction, but because they have PRIVATE (off street) parking, I'm legal.

That's interesting, I never would have thought of it that way. Your right, the parking lot is the store's property. I wonder how that works with my sidewalk. I have to shovel it in the winter, that's got to count for something. I wonder where that falls legally?

So that means you get your pistol out of the trunk and load up every time you walk in to every store? Seems like a lot of time being spent on putting on/taking off a pistol.

Sidewalks are considered public property despite you having to shovel snow off of them and that they are clear for pedestrians.

A friend of mine lives in a school zone. I just can't buy into it, and carry the moment I get out of my truck (55th and North Ave, (I bet you would carry illegal to, he has lost two local pizza guys in his area, one to a head shot, his car stopped after hitting a tree, no cash taken)). This choice I have to make is just a bad thing to force me into, but again, jail is better then dead...

(I've PM'd you, too...)

According to that map, I live in 2 school zones. One school is in
the housing project a couple blocks south of me, where the thugs
live & breed. Wanna bet they don't follow the school zone law?

With the crime around here (Sherman & Hampton), I will carry even
though it's technically illegal. I'd rather be alive than a victim.

Welcome Krysta,
Sorry you have to
bend the law to stay safe. Let's hope that the new law suit will change that. The 1000' law is obviously just a way to further disarm the people who obey the laws. If the law is to protect the kids, why is it still in force when the kids aren't in school? :banghead:

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and very curious about open carry and deciding if i want to start OC. Ive been on and off here for a few days and found the school zone map for milwaukee to be interesting because that is where i would like to carry.(my girlfriends place was robbed at gunpoint by two thugs with semis and that is the reason i bought a handgun for self defense in the first place) she lives on the corner of lloyd st and booth(near the reservoir and the large bend in North ave highlighted in blue...) The map says that the gfsz law does not apply there but IS ANYONE ELSE CONCERNED THAT THE MAPS THEMSELVES SAY THAT THEY ARE FROM 2006... OVER 4 YEARS AGO!!!!??????? i need to resolve this before i even think about carrying down there. Thanks if anyone answers and ive found these forums to be very helpful

One thing you can do it download Google Earth, zoom in on the area, then use the ruler from the edge of near by schools to find out if you are okay.

Hi OCglock,
Welcome to the forum. Being in Dousman, maybe this Spring you'd like to help us with the Adopt-A-Highway trash pickup we do just south of you. Here are the threads if you're interested:


[size="+1"]Anyway, to build your own school zone map, go to [/size][size="+1"]this link at Google Maps[/size][size="+1"] and enter category:Schools -kindergarten -college -dance -driving -art -aircraft -craft -technical loc: wi in the search box; it'll show every school in Wisconsin. Then navigate to the area you want to check. Each of those red dots is a school! If you adjust the magnification slider to either 2000 ft or 1000 ft on the scale on the lower left of the window, you can use that to visualize the "victim zones". You could even print it out and manually draw the 1000' dimensions if you don't have Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro or some such.

Remember, the 1000' is measured from the edge of the school property, not the center of the school building. To be safe, you'll have to verify that you've accounted for all the schools with boots on the ground... Google might have missed something.

And Dave about the trash pickup Id be interested if you send me some more info in the future or a different link because your url must have been bad. Thanks again for helpin a new guy this website is great.

Some one living up there should write the city that produced the map. Dr Brenda Noach Elementary & Secondary Choice Schools was incorrectly placed in veterans park. It is located in the war memorial. That would mean the "school property" is much smaller and a lot more area would be gun friendly.
