948.60 section 3 "This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if.. (it is short barreled) ..or not in compliance with ss. 29.304(under 16 supervised hunting/practice) and 29.593 (meets requirement to obtain hunters license)."
So anyone 16-17 has to meet 29.593 requirement to gain section 3 exemption of long barreled rifles and shotguns from 948.60.

No.
Again, 29.593 says nothing about possession or control of a firearm (unlike 29.304). It only says that you must have a "certificate of accomplishment" to hunt with a firearm.
29.593 defines the qualifications accepted to obtain a WI hunting license, and is "borrowed" as qualifications to gain section 3c exemption to what 948.60 says about possession or control of a firearm. The section 3c exemption was a loophole republicans added specifically for young hunters to escape the Section 2a carry infringement created by democrats.
The exception in 948.60(3)(c) doesn't apply if not in compliance with 29.304 and 29.593.
If you aren't hunting, there's no need to comply with 29.593. Is that what the legislature intended? Probably not. But, that's what the law says.
In my states, I have seen cases dismissed because the law said "carried a handgun into, instead of "carried a handgun in (or maybe it was the other way around). The legislature ended up changing the law to say both "in or into", so that it was inclusive of both circumstances.
You're misreading this. There is no language that makes getting hunting approval a requirement. "In compliance" does not mean requirement. He was not hunting, therefore he is not required to have hunting approval. If he does not need hunting approval, then he is in compliance with hunting approval certification and training requirements. He doesn't need to meet the requirements if he is not seeking hunting approval, which makes him in compliance with the legal section.
.29.593 Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.
(1)
(a) Except as provided under subs. (2), (2m) and (3), and s. 29.592 (1), no person born on or after January 1, 1973, may obtain any approval authorizing hunting unless the person is issued a certificate of accomplishment under s. 29.591.
Doesn't matter if he was seeking hunting approval. The republican lawmakers just "borrowed" the license approval qualifications to define the 3c exemption loophole for young hunters or prospective hunters to protect them from the the democrats under 18 infringement. Basically if you're not adult supervised or at least qualified to obtain hunting approval they don't want you carrying long guns at all.
The law says none of that. I don't care what people want a law to say, I care what it actually says. I'm sorry, but your reading comprehension is lacking. Words mean what they mean, and what is written is what is written.
You are imagining words where there are none. Cite your specific texts.
Only here would an honest, good faith gun law debate take place in the comments.
