While I agree that any expansion of places is bad,
if WI law simply said "carried in agreement with
18USC922(q)(2)(B)"
*,
and we could get rid of that federal code,
poof! magically we'd have (some) rights restored & people in places like Vermont (which doesn't issue licenses) or states which don't issue non-resident licenses wouldn't have to worry about potentially being slapped with a federal crime when all they did was drive their kid to school while being able to defend self & kid.
* Which, BTW, is on page 5 of that PDF, & in toto allows carrying by licensees AND U&E by non-licensees, even in buildings.
I can't find the bit that defines "school zone"... help? IIRC Federal law treats the building the same as 999' from the property, but I can't find the code supporting that idea.
Here's the actual text of
AB500.
I started to say it does not include day cares, but then I searched the
WI statutes for a definition of pre-kindergarten & can't find one... They define kindergarten, including 4K.
Besides, how many kindergartens are there that aren't already part of a K-whatever school?

I had a nice conversation w/ a lady at WI DPI [800 441 4563 press 6, ask for Jill Hagland]
I tried to get them to tell me
a) how many unattached pre-K & K4 there are in the state
and
b) what's the definition of pre-K [statute]
In reverse order:
b) She says
there is no statutory definition of pre-K.
THIS IS A PROBLEM
a) A pre-K can be privately run in a day care or other setting, but has to get public funding & meet statutory definitions.
A private school has to be multiple grades, so they're not included in the expansion problem of this law.
She told me there have been "pre-K" day cares which have tried to get "20mph school zone" signs on the road in front of their facility, & have been told they can't because they're not a school.
