Walker has signed SB228 into law. He also signed SB75 into law whuich eliminates the earn-a-buck program. Both laws are in effect for this hunting season as they were both ordered published immediatley.
941.23 still applies, so make sure it is not "hidden".
Walker has proven to be a friend to both gun owners and hunters yet there are possibly as many people on this form that dislike him as like him, probably fuled by his radical approach to state financial issues. As a side issue to this thread the following web page is a running tally of the effect of his approaches to the state financial condition. http://reforms.wi.gov/
941.23 still applies, so make sure it is not "hidden". A rack up against the headliner would be hidden from ordinary view.
I think this law is going to be the best thing to get 941.23 fixed for good! Wait until they start getting hunters for violations by having rifles in the back seat or on the passenger floor. Even if most cops let it slide you know there's going to be some obnoxious hunters that are going to get every ticket the officer can come up with.
Plus now we can get the fudds to help us push to fix 941.23! Either way it's a win........ Now I need to get back to researching gun racks :lol:.
If I understand correctly, we can now have unloaded, UNCASED long guns and bows in our autos and on ATVs?
If this is correct, and Walker has already signed this, when will this law take effect? Thanks
I read the summary and trying to figure out why locked is ok through the GFSZ, i'm new to legaleze.
If so, eff yeah, I'm mounting an AR in my trunk.

Didn't govenor Walker oder it published right away if so doesn't that mean ASAP doing away with the 10 day wait?.
iif it can't be concealed, then trunk mounting is out?
I support Walker on the fiscal matters, my beef is with him caving to the Fitzgerald Bros and training lobby on SB93.
Just wondering can any body cit a case where some one was charged with carring a concealed long gun in a vehicle.
Lots of citations for un cased.
