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.
Yes I'm sure. I've traveled with guns plenty of times and looked it up. It's federal law. You can find articles by the NRA, etc. explaining it with guides and everything.
You can still get in trouble though. For instance, if you're carrying a loaded AR-15 with a standard 30 round magazine through California and it has a pistol grip and it's in your back seat. The cops would arrest you as usual and you'd probably go to jail because the rifle was readily available and obviously that means you weren't just transporting it. I think it's all bullshit, but reality is that you'd want to have guns and ammo separate and the guns unloaded and not accessible to be sure. Which makes you a perfect target for highway robbers, but whatever.
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).

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.

Agreed
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).
