The Montana Approach
As cited by Phred above, I verified the Montana Statute. I was unaware of this approach to defeating the Federal GFSZ and now "stand corrected" It appears to be a viable way to approach this hassle. To requote (taken from the Montana DOJ website:
Montana Code Annotated
45-8-360. Establishment of individual licensure. In consideration that the right to keep and bear arms is protected and reserved to the people in Article II, section 12, of the Montana constitution, a person who has not been convicted of a violent, felony crime and who is lawfully able to own or to possess a firearm under the Montana constitution is considered to be individually licensed and verified by the state of Montana within the meaning of the provisions regarding individual licensure and verification in the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act.
It is important then in talking with WI Legislators about Constitutional Carry to point out how Montana handled this matter.
