Wisconsin does not allow permitless concealed carry. A license issued by the Wisconsin Department of Justice is required for concealed carry, available to individuals 21 and older who complete approved training. Open carry is generally legal without a license, but restrictions apply in areas like school zones, and handguns in vehicles fall under concealed carry rules. Businesses may post signs prohibiting weapons. Wisconsin recognizes concealed carry licenses from many other states.
