Wisconsin now has open carry as it always has and now concealed carry,if you have the permit.
So ,must the weapon be totally out of sight to be considered concealed carry and if any part of it is visible ,is it then that you are open carrying which has totally different regulations on where you can legally carry?
Or ,if I have a concealed carry permit,does it mean I then can carry it hidden,or in view on a side holster,or however I choose to, and it falls within the concealed carry rules?
Why this makes a difference is ,for example,With concealed carry it states you cannot go on school grounds.With open carry it states you actually have to stay within 1000 feet of the school property line.So if I am carrying concealed I can walk past a school on a sidewalk.If I am open carrying I cannot get within 1000feet of the school property line.
So if I have a concealed carry permit and the gun is in a side holster,am I then subject to follow open carry rules and stay within 1000 feet of the school or will it then fall into concealed carry guidelines ?
Or have the open carry rules changed recently perhaps since I was here last?
