Nothing to worry about. Madison used to not allow the sale of handguns but that went away eventually. |
That's still in existence--and a legal ordinance--for FFL dealers. The state pre-emption law doesn't affect zoning regulations, so Rusk is the only dealer able to actually sell handguns in Madison. (from my legal FAQ).
59. Handgun shop, subject to the following conditions:
a. Such shop shall be located in a building of Type 5 construction as defined in ILHR 51.03(5), Wisconsin Administrative Code.
b. No handgun shop shall be located within 1000 feet of any church, synagogue, temple, mosque or any other place of worship, any lot in a residence district, either in the City of Madison or in a municipality adjacent to the City of Madison, any of the following planned developments which allow residential dwelling units: planned community development, planned unit development, and planned community mobile home parks; any public park, any private or public elementary, secondary or vocational school, any public or private playground, any day care center, any public library, any youth recreation area including little league baseball fields, soccer fields, or YMCA/YWCA.
c. No handgun shop shall be located in the same detached building where alcohol beverages are sold.
d. No handgun shop shall be located in the same detached building where any patron thereof under the age of 18 years may enter, unless accompanied by a parent, guardian or adult spouse 18 years of age or over.
(Cr. by Ord. 11,506, 1-26-96) |
Also, check out Chapter 25. They have handgun registration with a 7-day waiting period (even for private sales), ban on assault weapons, trigger lock required when not being used, ban on sale of handgun ammunition, a complete ban on handguns with a barrel length of less than 4", and a ban on "barbed bullets" (like Black Talons). As has been mentioned, these are null because of the state pre-emption law. If the state pre-emption law went away, these would be back.
