Pardon me if this has already been discussed (feel free to point me in that direction), but I would love to get an attorney perspective on the wording of the Wisconsin law on the possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, given the charges against 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse:
Wisconsin Legislature: 948.60
Section 948.60 (3)(c) says the statute ONLY applies if the person is in violation of 941.28, or is not in compliance with 29.304 and 29.593.
941.28 is about sawed off weapons, which he did not have so he is not violating it.
29.304 applies to those under 16 years old, so that does not apply so it would seem he is in compliance by default.
29.593 is about having a hunting certificate, which does not apply, so it seems he is in compliance by default.
Would this mean that Rittenhouse cannot be convicted of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18? Or would the court not apply 948.60 (3)(c) given they are not applicable to the case?
