When the driver's license is entered on the form all they would have to do is reject all that do not have a MD prefix.
Except that you don't have to enter a DL#. Suppose they can change that, too. :uhoh:
the intent of the web site was for MD residents only.
It doesn't say that; they may take steps to limit it in the future.
I also don't see how the Wisconsin DoJ can say the MD training isn't valid
Esp. since MD residents, using that training, are going to be allowed to carry in WI.
If it's good enough for MD residents, who will be allowed to carry here, why isn't it good enough for WI residents?
It EXACTLY meets the letter of the law, being:
1) a firearms safety or training course
2) available to the public
3) offered by a law enforcement agency
[See 175.60(4)(1)(c), on page 8 of the bill.]
I've read laws from other states that mention something about an instructor (along with the same 1-2-3 phrasing as above), or "a course that the agency finds acceptable", or things like that. Our new law doesn't have any of that.
They made the law, we found something that exactly met their requirements, they'll have to live with it...
or change the law, in which case there will be quite the uproar.
(To stave off the inevitable debate, which has its own thread, about whether this is good & sufficient training to actually carry, no, of course it's not. But people should be able to choose training that works for them. More is better.)
