Well, No1 definately isn't on top of things.

1. NO CC, period.

2. NO firearmes within 1000' of a school (having knowlege of said school) except unloaded and encased. It is lawful to OC on PRIVATE PROPERTY (business parking lots) within the 1000' GFSZ. (SS 948.605)

3. No handguns in taverns or restaurants that sell alcohol for CONSUMPTION.

4. No OC/CC in a vehicle. Firearm must be unloaded, encased, and in the farthest "out of reach" location in passenger compartment. DO NOT PLACE HANDGUN AND CASE IN GLOVE BOX OR OTHER "CONCEALED" LOCATION!.

5. No firearms in public buildings (courthouses, city hall, etc.)

Most cities and counties have a ban on firearms in parks. This is generally accepted to be preempted by state statute but has not been pressed in the courts (yet). OC in a park at your own risk. You won't (shouldn't) be arrested and/or charged with DC any longer in WI. If stopped, turn on your digital voice recorder, and ask if you are free to leave (setting stage for lawful Terry stop).

So according to this


State v. Alloy, 616 N.W.2d 525 (Wis. App. 2000) (affirming concealed carry conviction of man possessing handgun in a vehicle in conformity with Wisconsin Stat. § 167.31 because “Alloy's argument is based on the false assertion that he was trapped by a conflict between Wis. Stat. § 167.31 and Wis. Stat. § 941.23. A person transporting a firearm is governed by both statutes. To comply with § 167.31, the person must encase the weapon. To comply with § 941.23, he or she must place the enclosed weapon out of reach. See State v. Asfoor, 75 Wis.2d 411, 433-34, 249 N.W.2d 529 (1977). A person complying with § 167.31 is not required to violate § 941.23. The encased weapon can be lawfully transported out of reach.”)




The way I'm currently transporting my firearm is not legal?


I have this

No, Not really. Although the laws do conflict each other. there is no mention in anypublished cases or case law if the firearm in question was loaded or unloaded.
My money says the defendants in thesesituations had aLOADED weapon in their vehicle!

I am sure there will be arguments due to my boldstatements, But argue away! I will continue to carry my fully cased, and unloaded firearms on the front seat of my pick-up truck without fear of arrest or citations and I would be willing to take my argumentsto the highest courts in the land.

Now if the firearm was placed into a plastic tote which is not specifically designed to house a firearm, and you had it in the passenger compartment in the vehicle, it could be a different story.

I would hope any LEO with common sense would understand that a locked and secured case under my seat is a lot better than an unlocked and unsecured case in the backseat.
