Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, it is a Class H felony to carry an electric weapon (such as
a Taser). Current law provides exceptions to the prohibition for certain persons such
as law enforcement or correctional officers on official duty or persons with a license
to carry a concealed weapon. This bill creates an exception for a person who holds
a license or permit as a private detective, a private investigator, or private security
personnel while the person is on official duty if the person may carry a firearm while
on official duty.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
