Both hands on the wheel, 10:00 and 2:00, remember to watch for children.
Not good advice in a car with an explosive in the steering wheel (airbag).
3/9 or 4/8 are much safer. At 10/2 you're more likely to be maimed.

You would likely have time to let go of the wheel before impact. If you wish to avoid a crash to begin with, keep them at 10/2...Not good advice in a car with an explosive in the steering wheel (airbag).

Respectfully, Captain, you are mistaken. 18 USC 921:

Also, out of state permits do NOT exempt you from the Federal Gun Free School Zone prohibition. The permit must be issued by the same state the school zone in question is located in to provide an exemption under Federal law.
Not going to get involved in the rest of this discussion (not educated enough on WI law), but I dislike seeing a computer question go unanswered.... Can someone tell me how to copy and paste the text from a PDF!! I don't have that option and it's frustrating to have to hand type this stuff.
Uh, well if I remember correctly it says "licensed" not "issued" by the same state. Wisconsin considers recognized out-of-state licensees to be licensed by Wisconsin. Don't confuse the physical card with the permission: "License" is not only a noun, but a verb. Wisconsin "licensed" out-of-state licensees. Another example: "007 had a "license to kill" does not refer to some card he carried in his pocket. It referred to a permission that was granted to him.
18USC922(q)(2)
(A) It shall be unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm that has moved in or that otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
175.60(2)(d) For purposes of 18 USC 922 (q) (2) (B) (ii), an out-of-state licensee is licensed by this state.
Too bad the ATF does not agree with you:

Sure, if you can let go of the steering wheel and move your hands/arms away from the 'area' in less than 100 milliseconds, closer to 60-80 milliseconds. The airbag must be completely inflated prior to your 'chest' reaching the surface of the airbag or you will be hit by the inflating airbag.You would likely have time to let go of the wheel before impact. If you wish to avoid a crash to begin with, keep them at 10/2...

So let me get this straight.... the minute I enter Wisconsin with my recognized out of state permit, some Law Enforcement Authority in Wisconsin is automatically going to verify that I am qualified for a carry license?!? How exactly does that work? Do they have permit detectors at the state line? You obviously are ignoring the requirements of 18 USC 922 for a Law Enforcement Agency in the state the school zone is located in to VERIFY - not assume, not trust, not hope - but to actually VERIFY that the INDIVIDUAL qualifies for a carry permit.
But....the facts have been posted....people can make intelligent decisions (or not) based on the source information.
California and some other states say it is legal to use marijuana too. Too bad the Federal government says it's not legal. A state cannot make legal what the Federal government declares to be illegal and have it stand up in Federal court. A Federal court of act of Congress (Federal) is required to nullify a Federal law.
It is funny that you bring up this point. I wonder how many times a cop/trooper has heard "I didn't know it was going to happen (the wreck) until it happened." I think this is another way of saying "Well officer, I was texting and not looking at the road." We all know that driving with two hands on the steering wheel is the right thing to do. Whether or not we do the right thing while driving is a different issue.Are you texting or sleeping in your scenario? You would have to be absolutely oblivious of the fact that you are actually operating a motor vehicle if you would not realize that you are about to drive into something. Your milliseconds time is based on trying to remove your hands after the collision has already occurred. If you grip the steering wheel at 8 and 4 and have no plans to let go, you may not be impacted directly by the air bag but your odds of breaking your hands, wrist or even arms is higher.
