Wisconsin Legislature 948.60(3)(c)

This section applies only 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.

Translation: it is legal for a person under the age of 18 to open carry a rifle so long as the barrel isn't illegally short, they're not under the age of 12, they're not under the age of 16 without parental supervision, and they're not hunting without a permit. He's clean.

Not quite, the subsections he quoted relate to hunting. Sorry to say, but your boy is going down, and all the premature booyahs in the world won't stop it from happening.

My boys? I don't have any boys out in the streets doing ignorant shit at present. My fellow enlightened human beings, those who understand we are being pitted against one another, are at home taking care of their families, getting ready to go to work tomorrow.

29.304 Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.

and

29.593 Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.

Maybe if he was in the woods looking for deer you'd have a point, but the subsections you cite do not apply because he was not hunting, at least not in any legal sense.

That's not how laws work. Things generally aren't legal because they're expressly permitted, things are legal when there's no law against them. If the section was specific to hunting, that would be clearly stated within 948.60(3)(c).

I highlighted the text of the pertinent subsections and they both related to hunting only. My take is a 17 yr old in Wisconsin can legally open carry as long as they are hunting. Hunting can only legally occur in legally designated hunting areas....i.e.: the woods.

Conversely, running around open carrying in the streets of downtown Kenosha, where turkeys and deer are few and far between, not so much.

That might be your take, but it's wishful thinking. If the law said, "Any person under 18 years of age who goes hunting...", you might have a point. But the law is clearly talking about "Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon," so it applies broadly.

That might be your take, but it's wishful thinking.

Wishful thinking is that the DA in this case somehow got it wrong....because what? They are a Marxist? Because they don't subscribe to white pride worldwide? Good luck with that.
