Is Wisconsin poised to become the thirteenth state with permitless carry? Senate Bill 169 may be heard in the state Senate this month and, if passed, would allow citizens to carry a firearm concealed without first obtaining a permit. Concealed-carry licenses would still be available to citizens who wish to take advantage of reciprocity laws in other states.

“We already give people the ability to openly carry a firearm without a license,” Sen. David Craig said in a statement introducing the legislation. “If you decide to throw on a coat, you should not be considered a criminal.”

A dozen other states currently have permitless carry laws on the book. Your action is needed to help ensure that Wisconsin is the next to adopt this important Right-to-Carry legislation.
