Is open carry of firearms allowed in Wisconsin?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only with a CCW permit

  4. Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without a permit

The open carry of firearms is indeed allowed in Wisconsin without a permit. This means that individuals can carry a firearm openly in public spaces as long as they are legally allowed to possess a firearm. Wisconsin law does not require a permit for open carry, making it accessible to law-abiding citizens. The notion that open carry might be restricted to certain areas, such as rural locations, is not accurate; the law applies uniformly across the state. While a concealed carry permit is necessary for carrying a firearm concealed, it is not a requirement for open carry, which distinguishes Wisconsin's approach from many other states that may have specific regulations regarding where and how firearms can be carried openly.
