I heard its a no CCW state. How are the other laws in regards to buying and owning?
Are LEOs restricted at all? or just civilians? Thanks. |

i'm not certain, but i'm pretty sure that a law was passed in the last few years that allowed ALL retired and current LEO to carry in every state of the Union. That's what I thought as well. I still heard that Illinois and Wisconsin restricted LEOs in the state, but that didn't make too much sense to regulate them. |

Open carry is legal, but I wouldn't advise it. Police can carry IIRC. MGs, Suppressors, SBRs, etc are all legal, no assault weapon laws, 48hr wait on handgun purchases, no mag capacity laws. Why the advisement against open carry if it is legal? So, overall, are the gun laws decent...aside from no CCW? Any restriction to the number of guns owned or purchased in a year? I don't have a waiting period in Michigan, but if I order a gun, it takes at least 24 hours to order anyway, so thats halfway I guess. |

Why the advisement against open carry if it is legal? Basically, think of the metro-areas as little Kalifornias. Folks fear and hate guns in the cities. If you are in a suburb of Superior, go for it. If you are in Green Bay / Fox Valley metro area, anywhere in Dane county (Madison), or anywhere near Milwaukee expect to get the cops called on you repeatedly for open carry. Heck, I got weird looks for carrying rifles in enclosed cases from my parking garage up the stairs to my apartment, and I live across the street from the official county "sight your gun for deer season" range. The farmers and whatnot don't care, the nancys in the cities do. Aside from that, it's the standard unloaded/cased while in the vehicle, and I think you aren't supposed to be able to reach either from any occupied seat. Mostly it's a cultural advisement against open carry. You won't get arrested necessarily, but, if removing you stops the 911 calls, the cops will do it. It isn't fair, but attitudes can only change one person at a time, and some folks aren't rational.

V_J, you still active, or retired? The HR218 for retiree's kinda gets stymied by the "no funding"  to certify old officers.Still active.......15 years in, and a 2 year old that says, um, daddy, you're going to keep working, right?  Agreed on the retiree BS being cloudy. Many of our guys maintain part-time status to alleviate the question. WI, IE Madison, very left-wing. Get out of the metro areas as said above, you find more common sense. No limits on number of guns purchased.
