If I am visiting Wisconsin from another state and I have a CCW license from that state, is it okay for me to carry in Wisconsin?
Maybe. DOJ is required to establish, by rule, a list of states that issue a CCW license or permit that either requires or designates that the holder of the license or permit chose to submit to a background check that is comparable to the check conducted under Wisconsin law. Wis. Stat. § 165.25(12). A person who possesses a CCW license or
permit from one of the states designated in the DOJ rule may carry concealed in Wisconsin. Wis. Stat. § 15.60((1)(f) and (2g)(a). Such a person may begin carrying concealed as soon as DOJ lists the state by rule which will be posted online on
November 1, 2011.
What type of out-of-state license is acceptable?
It must be a valid permit, license, approval or other authorization issued by another state if all of the following apply:
If the permit, license, approval or other authorization is for the carrying of a concealed weapon. Wis. Stat. § 175.60(1)(f)1.
The state is listed in the rule promulgated by DOJ under Wis. Stat. §165.25(12). Wis. Stat. § 175.60(1)(f)2; 165.25(12).
The holder must be over the age of 21. Wis. Stat. § 175.60(1)(g).
The holder must not be a Wisconsin resident. Wis. Stat. § 175.60(1)(g).
