Are non-residents allowed to apply for a Wisconsin CCW permit?

  1. Yes, if they work in Wisconsin

  2. No, only Wisconsin residents can apply

  3. Yes, if they own property in Wisconsin

  4. No, unless they are former law enforcement

The correct answer is: No, only Wisconsin residents can apply

The correct answer is that only Wisconsin residents can apply for a Wisconsin CCW permit. The law is clear in specifying that eligibility for obtaining a concealed carry license (CCW permit) is restricted to individuals who have established residency in Wisconsin. This means that non-residents, regardless of their employment status in the state, property ownership, or prior law enforcement experience, do not qualify for the permit. Other options suggest conditions under which non-residents might be allowed to apply, but they do not align with the legal requirements set by the state. The emphasis on residency is significant because it ensures that applicants are subject to Wisconsin laws and regulations, providing a measure of accountability and ensuring that permit holders are familiar with the local laws governing firearm ownership and use.
