We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

IANAL, but there is nothing in Wisconsin law that I know of that requires magazines to be visible. AFAIK, you can carry them pretty much any way you choose.

It is not possible to make a factual statement about the non-existence of something without examining the entire universe of discourse.
I can say that I have searched, in the past, the entire copy of the Wisconsin statutes, that I have, for similar questions without finding anything related.

Short direct answer is that you may conceal them.

And the ones on the bottom are clips for a revolver, so they're not just for long guns. I think speed loaders and the like would be classed as "clips" too.

It NEEDED to be posted. The ignorance on this is amazing.

So is the anal retentiveness LOL but I'm with ya. Next time I'm just going to make sure the word "magazine" is bold and red in a post when replying to someone that wrongly uses the word "clip".

All I am going to say is that it is easy to be a nomenclature Nazi regarding clig/mag when you are hiding behind a keyboard. Alot of people jump on others for using "clip". But... I guarantee you that in person you will find very knowledgeable and competent people who know the difference but will still say clip. These same people do not take kindly to others taking it upon themselves to try and correct them.

conceal them all you want. not a firearm.
I'm sure in Madison you'll be detained and asked for ID, even if only openly carrying a ammo carrier

If they are truly ignorant of the difference, they are generally more receptive. That is not what I am referring to...

I can think of at least one semi-auto HANDGUN that takes a clip--- the "Broomhandle" Mauser. There may be others, but none occur to me off the top of my head.
Here's pic if you don't believe me:

I catch myself misusing the term "Clip" on rare occasions. It's a very hard habit to break considering most all movies misuse the term. I do tend to correct most people (some you can tell just don't care) and do it in a polite way. I work with a bunch of Clip/mag nazis so when I use it I get called out when I say it.
It helps to know a bit about them as there are a number of different "Clips"
An SKS uses a Stripper Clip.
A M1 Garand uses an En Bloc Clip
A Revolver can uses either a Half or Full Moon Clip
Once you get the differences down they look very different from a magazine.
Mausers are about the only handgun I can recall atm that use a stripper clip. I have been known, when I'm in a fowl mood, to hand some one a loaded Mauser clip when they ask for "a clip fo my nine"

I correct people on that all the time, too. Of course, I also correct people on steps/stairs, nude/naked, balcony/deck, and a whole bunch of others.
