Yep, only applies to pistols and short barreled rifles and shotguns. Retarded internet lawyers would have every jail in the State of Wisconsin full of 17 year olds on the first day of hunting season if their mis-reading of the statute was correct.
Open carry is a different matter. But no matter, this is not a hill to die on, the charge is a misdemeanor, the important charges are the murder charges, and even if he's guilty of a gun misdemeanor, that doesn't guarantee guilt for murder.
Lin Wood has come out and said the the rifle was lent to him by a friend in Wisconsin and it never left the state of Wisconsin. Wood has also started letting media outlets and blue check twit-tards know that reporting that Kyle brought the rifle in from out of state is defamation.
Not anymore -- not really. Since the rifle apparently didn't cross state lines with him , then the intention to use the rifle is a bit of a stretch (somebody handed it to him because they saw a potential need for self-defense could be the argument made -- and this sets up an argument for him openly carrying).
I don't know if they're trying to go for saying he should be following the laws of his state (which would be ridiculous, but anything is possible).
Not allowed to have dangerous weapons, which includes firearms, without being 18 or older, except there is an exception for rifles and shotguns.

Most states have exemptions for hunting - they can open carry if they have a current, valid hunting license.
Ok, most States have lots of laws. In Wisconsin it is perfectly legal for a 17 year old to possess a rifle or shotgun. Period.

He was hunting commies so...
BIT of a stretch there, lol.
There's nothing illegal with crossing state lines with a weapon. Read up on FOPA. It's how you can drive across America with your guns.

but, apparently, the weapon did not cross state lines

Not an issue, as the rifle was loaned to Kyle by a WI resident (per a tweet by Lin Wood).
They're planning to prosecute him as an adult, but at the same time charge he's not old enough to possess the rifle.
Good old government.
Any criminal involved is liable to die if they try to fuck an American like that. Rightfully, obviously
If he is trialed as an adult, shouldn't the open carry at 18+ be an exception for him then?
With Valid Hunter's Safety Card. That's the Caveat.
