Wisconsin Law 948.60(3)(c): This section applies only[/i][/b] to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593.[/i][/b]
S.941.28 is about "Possession of short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle." (not in possession of a SBS or SBR)
ss. 29.304 is about "Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age." (not under 16 years of age)
29.593 is about "Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval." (not applying for a hunting license)
@GrundleStiltzkin Noir is wrong, he misstates what the law says... these aren't exceptions from the law... These are situations in which this specific law ONLY applies IF "X" specific conditions are met. None of those conditions were met by Rittenhouse.
Just think about it logically for a second, do you really think that the law is meant to exempt application if you are a minor open carrying a short barreled rifle or shotgun? Thats absurd.
I dont see how Rittenhouse could possibly be in violation of this law...
