Last week, Governor Walker signed a law causing Wisconsin to join 48 other states in allowing people in Wisconsin (residents and non-residents) to legally carry firearms that are concealed. While this practice is common in other states, Wisconsin's new law leaves Illinois as the only state not allowing some form of legal concealed carry. Between now and November 1, 2011 - when the law takes effect - people desiring to exercise their new right to concealed carry, not to mention businesses and other places open to the public where such persons might frequent, need to understand what the law allows and does not. Unfortunately, the details are too complicated for this post.
While I encourage you to contact one of the attorneys at Moen Ehrsam & Kroner for advice particular to your specific situation, general information about the law from the State Bar of Wisconsin can be reviewed here. The National Rifle Association also provided a bit more detailed summary of the law here
