Can non-residents apply for a Wisconsin CCW permit?

  1. Yes, anyone can apply

  2. Only if they work in Wisconsin

  3. Only if they have a CCW permit from their state

  4. No, only Wisconsin residents can apply

The correct answer is: Only if they have a CCW permit from their state

The correct answer reflects that non-residents can indeed apply for a Wisconsin concealed carry weapon permit provided they hold a valid concealed carry permit from their own state. This allows Wisconsin to recognize the training and legal standards already established in the applicant's home state, thus maintaining a level of consistency in the application process and ensuring that non-residents who are lawfully carrying in their states are also able to do so in Wisconsin. While it is true that some states may have restrictions on non-residents, Wisconsin has specific provisions that enable non-residents with valid permits to apply. This consideration supports the overall aim of facilitating lawful carry across state lines while upholding safety and training standards. The other options either incorrectly imply a broader inclusivity without proper safeguards or restrict non-residents beyond the regulations in place. The legislation is crafted to ensure that individuals carrying firearms have met necessary legal and training requirements, which is why the focus is on the existing permits from respective states.
