Wouldn't it be nice if the law was written clearly and concisely? Something along the lines of "The right of the people to keep AND bear arms shall not be infringed." Something like that should be allot less confusing.
Laws are written by politicians. And sometimes, they are written (and subsequently amended) in a way that is obtuse to avoid triggering opposition until it's too late. I've personally seen that happen in my state.
Other times, I think they are written to make work for their lawyer friends.
No there is only an exception on long guns for those actively "in compliance" with the hunting law, those under 16 hunting or under instruction with an adult, or 16 & 17 year olds who have "obtained" (are eligible for) a WI hunter's license. No compliance, no exception.
Read the law more carefully. It ONLY applies to short-barreled rifles, not long guns.
No, you have it inverted, it prohibits short barrel. Will Chamberlain already did the live read legal review of WI possession laws.
You know they did a good job when even gun-loving, well intentioned 'Pedes can't agree on what the law is.

Don't be silly. That sounds like something old white men would have written.

I can't give you enough updates this comment, something like 5280 would be appropriate
I think we're in agreement... the law only prohibits short-barrels, therefore Kyle was legal in possessing a long gun.
