On Tuesday, May 20th, a Concealed Carry Class will be hosted at Village Hall in Sister Bay to educate participants about Wisconsin firearm laws and safety protocols. The class, which aligns with Wisconsin Department of Justice standards, is a stepping stone for those looking to apply for a permit.
“We cover everything from what to do while you’re traveling, how to interact with a police officer if you’re carrying, who can and can’t get permits, and where you can and can’t carry,” said lead instructor Alysha Manning of Midwest Carry Safe, “we do also cover self-defence law as well.”
The class aims to enhance public knowledge and safety surrounding responsible firearm ownership and attendees will leave class with the instructor’s contact information to reach out with any future questions. While Wisconsin is an open carry state and permits are valid for five years, Manning says continual education is an important tool for firearm owners to holster.
“It just gives everybody a really good idea of the laws surrounding carrying, transporting, and possessing firearms,” she added.
The 2.5 hour class begins at 6 p.m. and the cost for admission is $80. No pre-registration is necessary. To apply for permit, applicants must be 21+ or older, be a Wisconsin resident, have completed firearm training, and meet other necessary criteria before receiving a Concealed Weapons License (CWL).
