In Wisconsin, it is legal to openly carry firearms in public as long as the person carrying is 18 years of age or older and legally allowed to possess a firearm. Open carry does not require registration or a permit, but individuals may be asked by law enforcement to provide proof that they are legally allowed to possess the firearm.
It is important to remember that open carry may not be legal in certain places such as schools, government buildings, courthouses, law enforcement buildings, private property where posted signs indicate so, and other locations prohibited by state or federal laws. Furthermore, while open carry is generally legal within the state of Wisconsin, local municipalities may still choose to enact their own ordinances limiting or prohibiting open carry. Failure to obey local laws and regulations when it comes to open carry may result in fines or other legal consequences.
