Public transit is not one of the places Wisconsin's concealed carry
law explicitly restricts even permit holders from taking their guns, but
in Madison that's been the rule: no guns on city buses.
Now one of the state's gun rights advocacy groups has taken aim at
that policy, calling it a violation of residents' Second Amendment
rights.
(snip)
The letter cites state law that prohibits political subdivisions from
adopting any gun regulations more stringent than the state statute.
"Our legal team has exhaustively reviewed Wisconsin Statutes and
finds no law that restricts the right of the people to possess and
transport weapons on public mass transit. As such, we believe that
Madison Metro Transits prohibition of arms on buses is unenforceable and
violates the rights of the citizens of Wisconsin."
