SB93 To Be Signed Today

Gov. Walker is slated to sign Senate Bill 93 (Wisconsin Personal Protection Act) into law on July 8th.  Once signed, the law will go into effect November 1st, 2011, finally allowing Wisconsin residents the ability to carry concealed weapons.

The NRA has compiled a "fact sheet" covering most of what this all entails for us here.  The key things include what qualifies as "training."

Any idea whether Iowans will be able to carry (with an Iowa PCW) in WI when this goes into effect?

I think there's something on that in the "fact sheet," at least some mumblings regarding out of state citizens and carry.

If I'm reading it right, WI will honor out of state permits, provided they also run the same background check that WI will do for its permit holders; that is the standard background check for purchasing a handgun.

Awesome, IA permits would be good to go then. One more state I can carry in.

I'm guessing there will be a list before too long of states WI will honor.
