Which type of firearm is NOT covered under the Wisconsin CCW permit?

  1. Handguns

  2. Automatic rifles

  3. Shotguns

  4. All of the above are covered

The correct answer is: Automatic rifles

The correct answer is that automatic rifles are not covered under the Wisconsin Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit. In Wisconsin, the CCW law allows individuals to carry concealed handguns, and there are specific regulations regarding the ownership and carrying of shotguns. However, the term "automatic rifles" refers to fully automatic firearms, which are classified differently under federal and state laws. These types of firearms generally require special permits due to their automatic firing capabilities and are not permitted for concealed carry. Handguns and shotguns have provisions under the CCW permit, provided they meet certain criteria regarding size and use. Therefore, automatic rifles fall outside the scope of what the CCW permit covers.
