Wisconsin Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

What could invalidate a Wisconsin CCW license other than committing a disqualifying offense?

1. Changing your address without notifying the DOJ

2. Failure to meet eligibility requirements

3. Losing the physical license

4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Changing your address without notifying the DOJ

The correct answer focuses on the importance of keeping the Department of Justice (DOJ) informed about any changes to your personal information after obtaining a CCW license. In Wisconsin, failing to notify the DOJ of a change of address can invalidate your CCW license, as the state requires accurate and current information for all license holders. This is crucial for regulatory compliance and ensuring that law enforcement can effectively contact license holders when necessary. While there are eligibility requirements that must be met to obtain a CCW license, once a person has secured their license, it remains valid as long as they maintain conditions set forth in the law, which includes notifying about changes. Therefore, a failure in this duty to update the address contributes directly to the invalidation of the license. Losing the physical license itself does not invalidate the CCW; rather, the license remains valid until the licensee commits an action that is designated to result in invalidation. In that case, obtaining a replacement may be necessary, but the loss of the card does not equate to cancelation of the permit itself. Overall, it is essential for license holders to maintain complete and correct information with the DOJ to uphold the integrity and validity of their Wisconsin CCW license.
