948.60 section 3 exempts rifles and shotguns (that are not short barreled) from "firearms" prohibited to those under 18, IF and only IF they are "in compliance" with the hunting regs. You're right though that 29.593 cited in section 3 wouldn't mean they have to have the actual hunting approval (license), just that they meet one of the requirements to obtain one. Unfortunately the likely out-of-state qualifications Kyle might have seem kind of discretionary as to their acceptance... So 16-17 year olds have to be "in compliance" with eligibility requirements for obtaining a hunting license for the long gun exception to apply.
Maybe Kyle might meet requirements, and his lawyer can certainly stretch that possibility after the fact, but he's certainly not explicitly "in compliance" with what we know. It's safe to say the law, infringement it may be, is certainly intended to prohibit non-hunters under 18 from open carry.
No 16-17 year olds need to be "in compliance with" 29.593 to gain the section 3 long gun exemption. Kyle needs to have met the requirements (basically some sort of training) to obtain WI hunting approval(license), if not the license itself to get out of 948.60. No compliance with 3c, no exemption.
948.60(2)(a) sets the general rule disallowing the possession by a minor of a deadly weapon.
948.60(3)(c) grants an exception which applies to all under (2)(a) since 3(c) finds 2(a) to apply only if..... in violation of 29.304 and 29.593, and 29.304 only applies to those under 16 thus is silent on those between 16-18 yoa thus if 16-18 the 948.60(2)(a) penalty does not apply to them.
29.593 is a definition of hunting licenses. One cannot be in violation of a definition.
Put your phone down, open the WI statutes. You're being lazy in reading them.
Where did you read that in 29.593?

Go to 3c. The firearms thing under 3a won't need to apply because merely hitting 16 gets Kyle out of 948.60
