Is it the contention of Wisconsin Carry that all people have the right to open carry because of the second amendment or is there a Wisconsin law that they interpret that gives them that right? Any one know?

Constitution and supporting juris dictum.

History on how it came about.

Note references at the bottom of the above link. Specifically Attorney General memorandum on open carry & the West Allis case.

You can open carry in Wisconsin. For open carry to be unlawful, the state must prove:

First, it must prove that the defendant engaged in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unnecessarily loud, or similar disorderly conduct.

Second, it must prove that the defendant's conduct occurred under circumstances where such conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance".

There are other limitations, like you can't be drunk, can't carry into a state owned office, etc.
