I need to know the statute that deals with business posting and the consequences of ignoring the posting. any help woiuld be appreciated.
(1m) Whoever does any of the following is subject to a Class B forfeiture
(c) (2) While carrying a firearm, enters or remains in any part of a nonresidential building, grounds of a nonresidential building, or land that the actor does not own or occupy after the owner of the building, grounds, or land, if that part of the building, grounds, or land has not been leased to another person, or the occupant of that part of the building, grounds, or land has notified the actor not to enter or remain in that part of the building, grounds, or land while carrying a firearm or with that type of firearm. This subdivision does not apply ... if the firearm is in a vehicle driven or parked in the parking facility, to any part of a building, grounds, or land used as a parking facility.
(3) Penalties for forfeitures are as follows
(b) For a Class B forfeiture, a forfeiture not to exceed $1,000
A crime is conduct which is prohibited by state law and punishable by fine or imprisonment or both.
Conduct punishable only by a forfeiture is not a crime.
Here's one place you can search the WI state statutes:

There's a search box on the left near the top. It takes words, phrases (in quotes), or numbers.
No Tolerance, I was asking about someone ignoring a posting and carrying anyway and getting caught. my apologies for any confusion.
Hi everyone,
I am new here as a poster but have lurked on the site for a long time. Hopefully I can contribute. I do have a question though with this thread. NoTolerance posted about the immunity clauses. Does this mean that DOJ and DOT employees do not have to disarm if they enter into a business with a sign posted? Does this also apply to school zones, do they need to disarm then? Thanks for the help!
Absolutely not. Unless they're on-duty LEO they still have to follow the same laws as everyone else.DJ380 said:NoTolerance posted about the immunity clauses. Does this mean that DOJ and DOT employees do not have to disarm if they enter into a business with a signposted?
I hadn't extrapolated that so far as to reason through them having immunity for a shooting, but that's reasonable. (IANAL)(21) Immunity
(a) The department of justice, the department of transportation, and the employees of each department; clerks... and their staff; and court automated information systems... and their employees are immune from liability arising from any act or omission under this section, if done so in good faith.
Yes. Unless someone is an on-duty LEO or meets one of the other exceptions, everyone is required to have their firearms in a non-useful state on school property.Does this also apply to school zones, do they need to disarm then?

A forfeiture is a ticket. Since it doesn't involve the possibility of imprisonment, it's not a crime.
