Anyone represented by Representative Mursau?

Hi Paul,

Rep. Mursau has contacted our Republican Caucus and informed us that he will be authoring the Concealed Carry Bill. I will send the language of the bill to you once it is drafted and sent around for co-sponsorship. I am not sure how long it will be in the Legislative Reference Bureau queue to be drafted, but I will keep you informed of the timeline and when it will be sent to committee and the floor.

Representative Mursau,

My Representative, Stephen Nass mentioned that you will be the one spearheading the work on the concealed carry bill in the assembly.

I have attached some suggested legislation that various members of OpenCarry.org, a website dedicated to the furtherance of open carry right, put together.

Several states, AZ, AK, WY and VT have in place something called Constitutional Carry. What that means is the only 'permission' one needs to openly or conceal carry a firearm is what is written in the state Constitution. WI has a good Constitution when it comes to our rights. Article 1, Section 25.

VT has never issued permits, as far as I can see. AK has stopped making them required over 20 years ago. AZ just went to an optional permit system just over a year ago and WY did it just this year.

This map shows the states that either have Constitutional Carry (green) or are considering it this year (yellow).

Let's turn WI yellow!

In this time of budget issues and the goal of making government smaller, it would make no sense to create a bureaucracy to issue permits. As you well know, permits and their fees are a favorite target of tax and spend administrations. There is no guarantee that a future administration, with just one line in a budget bill, won't increase the fee from something we might consider 'reasonable' today to something that makes it out of reach to the average citizen.

As for reciprocity, the legislation working it's way through the US Congress is written so that states such as VT and hopefully WI, that don't issue permits, would have automatic reciprocity for any of its citizens who can legally carry in their home state.

I appreciate your willingness to take this on. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional clarification.
