looks like it’s 18, not 16 ?
*********************************************************************************
18 is what he initially had, however, other lawyers did more research and muddling through several other statutes and when they told him, he edited and thanked them- it was changed to 16.
Go to the link if you want to read the legalese and how this interpretation was reached. Includes Statutes-
Thanks. I went there before i posted. I didn’t see
And I also went to wiki(which is contradictory - says 16 then says 18) and also used Wisconsin lawyers(says18)
https://www.bucherlawgroup.com/milwaukee-county-lawyer/open-carry-laws-in-wisconsin-what-you-should-know
and read legal opinions give to news outlets...(says 18 with age restrictions for hunting)

and what comes up is that most agree the section of the statute is poorly written.
If they (Wisc. Supreme Court - cause that’s where this is going) decide it’s 16, he skates on everything.
If not, regardless of anything else, I think Kyle gets whacked for a misdemeanor under this statute for not being 18.
The weapon was already in wisconsin so whoever lent the rifle to Kyle probably gets whacked for a Class H felony.
should be interesting
