I will be in Wisconsin this weekend and have been pouring over some of your laws in preparation. While reading through the CCW FAQ (http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/ConcealedCarry/ccw-faq-20111020.pdf) provided by your department of justice, I came across something that doesn't appear to be correct, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
On pg 29 of the FAQ, under the bullet "School grounds and premises", the first paragraph states
"No one, including a CCW licensee may carry a firearm in or on the grounds of a school unless another specific statutory exception applies. Wis. Stat. 948.605(2)(b)1r."
However, I looked up 948.605 "Gun-free school zones". http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/948/605
(2)(b) states "Paragraph (a) does not apply to the possession of a firearm by any of the following:"
and 1r states "Except if the person is in or on the grounds of a school, a licensee, as defined in s. 175.60(1)d, or an out-of-state licensee, as defined in s. 175.60(1)(g)."
Is it just me or is the FAQ wrong? I have a Michigan CPL (CCW in Wis) and I frequently open carry. I do not plan on being near any schools, I'm just trying to be careful.
Thank you for any help.
