Wisconsin Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Where is it illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even with a CCW permit, in Wisconsin?

1. Churches

2. School zones

3. Private businesses that post a no weapons sign

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The correct answer identifies that it is indeed illegal to carry a concealed weapon in all of the listed places, even if you hold a CCW permit. In Wisconsin, specific locations are designated as "weapon-free zones" regardless of one's licensing status. This includes school zones, where the presence of weapons is strictly prohibited to ensure the safety of students and staff. Additionally, private businesses have the right to establish their own policies, and if a business posts a no weapons sign, you must adhere to that rule and cannot carry a concealed weapon on those premises. Churches are also included in this restriction; while churches may not always be explicitly listed in certain regulations, many have policies against carrying firearms, and in some circumstances, they are treated similarly to other private property. Overall, state laws are designed to protect specific environments, which is why carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited in these locations.
