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.

I am sure that you and I would agree that they are, but, the devil being in the details, I suspect that they are owned by the appointed trustees.

For the most part yes. As Mr. Huffman reminded us, the UW campus grounds themselves are off-limits to weapons without permission. It's covered under Administrative Code UWS Chapter 18 "Conduct on University Lands."

ACLU response to 29.089 No firearms in State Parks complaint
Dear Mr. Marso,
We have received and reviewed your e-mail requesting assistance. The ACLU/WIF is a private, not-for-profit organization that accepts very few cases for direct representation, and lacks the staff or resources to act as a general legal clinic, provide legal research or discuss individual cases on a person to person basis. We do not have the ability to offer immediate assistance to emergency situations. We also rely on individuals that were personally affected by the governmental agency or public entity’s violation of civil liberties rights to file a written complaint to consider looking into the matter.
Even though we usually require a formal complaint to be filed with us for consideration of our assistance using our complaint form, since your e-mail inquiry is extensive, detailed and include your mailing address, we will accept and process it as a formal written complaint. Although you will receive a written response after our careful review and consideration, please be informed, it typically takes at least 10 weeks for an individual complaint to be processed. When the final determination is made, we will send you a letter in response to your complaint. We cannot advise our complainants with the “status” of their specific complaint during the time it is being processed. You may also note, depending on the situation, it may take longer then 10 weeks for the complaint to be processed. As it is with all legal matters, it may require a significant amount of time to complete our review, especially given our limited resources
Please be advised that this is not a promise of representation. Because the process of reviewing your complaint may take some time, you should continue to take whatever steps are necessary to protect your interests. The ACLU/WIF is a private, not-for-profit organization that accepts very few cases for direct representation. Should we decide to take your case, our assistance may be limited to certain issues, and may require a lengthy time to find a volunteer attorney.
If your inquiry is regarding legal research of a specific civil liberties issue, you can review our website or ACLU’s national website, www.aclu.org, which is full of previous ACLU Reports and other useful information that may be helpful to you.
You should also note, when sending documents to the ACLU of Wisconsin Foundation, please send copies, not originals. According to our document management policy, we destroy all inquiries and documents sent to us after seven (7) years. If you must send originals, please indicate how you will retrieve them after we finish our review of your inquiry. You may be required to pay to have documents sent to you.
Sincerely,
Paralegal/Intake Coordinator
ACLU of Wisconsin Foundation, Inc.

Wisconsin v Schultz
If the following decision is real and stands, #1 on your list is solved.
From http://www.wisconsinappeals.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Schultz1.pdf:
"In addition, as noted above, this court agrees with Justice Clarence Thomas’s McDonald concurrence and application of the Fourteenth Amendment to this matter. In essence, no State shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States. As Justice Thomas demonstrates, the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right, not created by the Second Amendment, but secured or recognized by it. The right to keep and bear arms is therefore not to be abridged by any State law. Sec. 941.23 must also fail under the application of the Fourteenth Amendment."
In sum, sec. 941.23 is unconstitutional on its face as overly broad in violation of the
Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution."
