CONCEALED CARRY PERMITS

On November 1st, those who are eligible may apply for concealed carry permits. The application can be filled out online or mailed to the Department of Justice.

The Department of Justice has also provided a list of answers to frequently asked questions which can be found here: http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/ConcealedCarry/ccw-faq-20111020.pdf.

The frequently asked questions and answer document also explains some of the eligibility requirements that must be met to receive a permit to carry.
These include:
• Be 21 years of age or older.
• Not be prohibited from possessing a firearm under state or federal law.
• Not have been ordered as a condition of bail or release in a criminal case from possessing a dangerous weapon.
• Be a Wisconsin resident.
• Have provided proof of the firearms training required for a license.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY

Halloween is just around the corner! The Department of Health Services has compiled a list of Safety Tips to help make it a fun and safe night. Some of the suggestions include wearing light colored clothing so that children and adults are visible at night, carrying flashlights, and inspecting the candy before eating it.
