Wis. to consider allowing uncased guns in cars
[align=right]February 20, 2010[/align]
MADISON - The state Senate is set to consider a bill next week that would allow people to transport uncased weapons.
Current Wisconsin law, no one can transport a firearm unless it's unloaded and stored in a gun case. No one can transport a bow or a crossbow unless it's either unstrung or cased.
The bill would eliminate the case requirement for firearms and eliminate all prohibitions on firearms, bows and crossbows in a vehicle if the vehicle is stationary.
The Senate is set to take up the measure on Tuesday.
The bill's main author, Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, a Weston Democrat, introduced a similar measure in 2005. Republicans controlled the Senate then and the legislation never got to the floor for a vote.

Don't do this in the city, the school zone still requires unloaded/encased. This gains nothing for city dwellers since their cars will go through school zones.
