In Wisconsin, anyone can carry an exposed firearm as long as you can legally own one.

To carry concealed, you must pass a firearm safety course, of no specified length, with no required test, and no required live firing, or have proof of another state's concealed license, or have taken a hunter's safety course, or have been in the military or police, or have taken any police firearm safety course.

It is very easy to get a concealed permit in Wisconsin, but then again I don't see any restrictions written into the second amendment either.

What I find really odd is that some states require live fire and have a pass fail test or whatever, and I can come into your state with my WI license and carry having NOT proved my mettle.

That seems unfair to the residents of that state that went through the testing.

To be clear: I am all for testing and rigorous training and regular practice, but I am against those same hurdles restricting a citizen's right to carry a weapon. I think a lot of folks are with me on that sticky issue.
