Citation please; "state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone..."As you are also aware, the veterans color guard will be participating in the Memorial Day Parade this year and state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone or they are subject to a felony arrest.
You're right Doug, state laws requires that they GET permission, not that anyone GIVE permission.Support The 2nd wrote:Citation please; "state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone..."As you are also aware, the veterans color guard will be participating in the Memorial Day Parade this year and state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone or they are subject to a felony arrest.
Carrying facsimile firearms is not illegal.Do the Vets carry working rifles or are these rifles "demilled" so they cannot fire? Just curious. I know Wisconsin law is convoluted and if a "real" gun has been changed into a non-gun then one can be charged with a "facsimile" weapon.
I went back and read the statute, thank you Doug! NO PERMISSION REQUIREMENT EXISTS if the Parade is "approved" by the school.Support The 2nd wrote:Citation please; "state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone..."As you are also aware, the veterans color guard will be participating in the Memorial Day Parade this year and state law requires you to give them permission to carry a firearm within a school zone or they are subject to a felony arrest.
I do think you are correct. I have seen a few of the AM. Legion M1s, and all had a welded adaptor installed. I would guess at one time live rounds were used, but I can only guess what happened to change this.The United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 (M1 Garand) rifles carried by the vets of the VFW and American Legion generally have blank firing adaptors welded into the barrels. At least that is how the M1 that I have used for 21 gun solutes has been. And we never cleaned them either so firing a live round through one would probably be more dangerousfor the guy pulling the trigger than the person on the other end.

Was it because of a law or because of company policy? Sometimes companies have strange interpretations of the law and will not ship things to WI that they legally could, e.g., pepper spray.I know that I cannot have shipped to me in Wisconsin any "gun" made from a parts kit. Last year I attempted to purchase a VZ-58 completely assembled with a fake receiver. No go. Same for a 1903 Springfield rifle that had been demilled by plugging the barrel, cutting and welding the firing pin and welding the bolt shut.

Wisconsin has some strange laws. I can't turn my old gun into a "dummy gun" to mount on the wall but I can buy and mount a functioning firearm on the wall.
They interpreted their products to be "replicas" which are illegal in Wisconsin. Check out the IMA-USA link. They list states they cannot ship to due to state law....we are one of them. :Xrcawdor57 wrote:Was it because of a law or because of company policy?
