Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Justice issues licenses to go armed with
a concealed weapon. DOJ may issue a license only to a Wisconsin resident or an
active military member stationed in Wisconsin and must conduct a background
check on the applicant to ensure the applicant is not prohibited from possessing a
firearm. Under current law, an out-of-state resident may go armed with a concealed
weapon in the same manner as a Wisconsin licensee if the out-of-state resident has
a valid license issued by another state and the issuing state is on a list that DOJ
maintains of the states that perform background checks on applicants before issuing
a license. This bill removes the requirement that the issuing state be on a list
maintained by DOJ. Under this bill, an out-of-state resident may go armed with a
concealed weapon in the same manner as a Wisconsin licensee if the out-of-state
resident has a valid license issued by another state.
