There is no statute against it as it is not a "firearm". I expect the 941.23 violation to be thrown out in court if he lawyers up. It can be argued that it is not a "dangerous weapon"...
The mention of rifle cartridges is a joke and irrelevant as obviously no Statute was violated there...
Hollow point .22.
A BB gun in a bag.
He should sue the city for false arrest.
WTF. I read the article and was thinking the MenomoneeFallsPatch was an offshoot of The Onion. They cannot be serious.
What is charged with carrying a BB gun? Something real fishy here, there HAS to be way more to this story.
First thing I see on this is the granting of permission to search--- absent a warrant!
the officer discovered the BB gun inside a drawstring bag behind the driver’s seat of the car.
He does appear to be on probation... maybe that has something to do with it?
Sorry, it's concealed inside a lawful case per the DNR laws.
This one is a joke and will get thrown out the instant that the DA reads the citation.
If's the "BB" gun is one of those that also shoots .177 cal pellets then in falls under the same DNR rules as a regular long gun.
Must be unloaded and in a carrying case. (Case made for a Gun).

I have cases that simply tie on the end and they are perfectly legal. Matter of fact, many gun shops use them for used rifles/pistols.
DNR Rule: “Enclosed in a carrying case’ for firearms means completely contained in a gun case expressly made for that purpose which is fully enclosed by being zipped, snapped, buckled, tied or otherwise fastened, with no portion of the firearm exposed."
16.31(1)(b) "Encased" means enclosed in a case that is expressly made for the purpose of containing a firearm and that is completely zipped, snapped, buckled, tied or otherwise fastened with no part of the firearm exposed.
167.31(1)(b) "Encased" means enclosed in a case that is completely zipped, snapped, buckled, tied or otherwise fastened with no part of the firearm exposed.
