In Wisconsin, carrying a concealed weapon without a valid license is a Class A misdemeanor with penalties of up to 9 months in jail and a $10,000 fine. A weapon is considered concealed when it’s not visible to a bystander, even if only partially covered or kept within reach inside a vehicle.
Concealed carry laws apply to handguns, tasers, electric weapons, and billy clubs. Some locations, like schools, bars, and government buildings, ban all concealed weapons regardless of license status. Violating location restrictions can lead to additional charges.
Grieve Law’s Mequon attorneys help clients understand concealed carry laws and build strong defenses when their rights are at risk.
Armed robbery is a Class C felony in Wisconsin, with maximum penalties of up to 40 years in prison, $100,000 in fines, or both. A conviction is permanent and is almost never eligible for expungement. Even if the object used during the robbery wasn’t a real weapon, like a toy gun, replica, or fake explosive, it can still be treated as a dangerous weapon under state law if it was used to threaten or intimidate.
