Hey, Y'all
I'll be up in beautiful Wisconsin for a week starting next Friday, and I am just checking to see if there are any odd or lesser-known gun laws I need to be careful of. May dad's entire family lives there, so I have been many times, and I have almost always taken firearms with me when I went. But, I honestly don't know the specifics of the gun laws in Wisconsin.
In the past, I have only taken my firearms out while shooting on my cousin's farm. Due to the relatively recent change of climate towards open carry in Wisconsin, I was considering OCing myself, while on my vacation. I realise that OC still might bring me additional attention from LE, so I would like to make sure that I don't accidentally do something that is illegal while OCing with LE watching.
What I do know (or think I know):
-No concealed carry
-No carry on or about your person in a vehicle
-No carry within 1,000ft of any school
Are there any other places that are off limits? i.e.
-Places that serve alcohol?
-Churches?
-Banks?
-Government buildings?
I expect that most of my time will be spent out on a lake, but I might get out a few times for a little fun with my relatives. Bay Beach, the Packer's HOF, a Timber Ratlers' game, and the Dells were all mentioned as possible things to see and do, so if any of these are known to be anti-gun or no-OC places, I would like to know in advance.
I know it doesn't make any real difference, but I do have my Virginia CHP, and I do open carry regularly here in the Commonwealth.
Thanks for any help that can be given.
