how to go about buying a hang gun at 18 i know it had to be a private sale not trough a ffl but how do i find a private sale

I want to sell two pistols and a few magazines - I'm a WI resident. What is the best way for me to sell locally? I'm in the Brookfield area. Thxya!

I live in SE part of the state and was wondering if anyone knows of any night shoots planned anywhere. My friends are in to guns at the surface level and don't share the same level of tism as me so I'm the only one with nods. Looking to practice and get some night reps in

I was wondering if anyone knew of or does stippling around SE WI. I am looking to have some work done on a Glock frame. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Thanks

This is kind of a silly q and I know that basically all CCW and other training courses are taught nights/weekends for obvious reasons.

But anyone have any suggestions for stuff M-F during the workday? My work schedule makes it a lot easier to do stuff then. Just a noob looking to learn.

(se WI)

I've got a free class every week in Madison.

I have my Wisconsin conceal and carry, Can I have the gun in my truck loaded and within reach while driving. Or does it need to be concealed on my person? (Also including all firearms not just pistols) although I do acknowledge you can’t really conceal and carry anything other than a firearm. The question I have I guess is any weapon okay to be loaded and within reach while driving?

Anyone know of a place near the Fox Valley that might offer this? Saw it online and think it would be so much fun!

Just moved to Wisconsin from down south. I’m really interested in joining a safe and affordable gun club. I’ve heard great things about Saukville but they are only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I work a lot and would like a little more flexibility than that, is it true they aren’t open on weekends? Any other range recommendations are welcome. I wish I had time to contribute to a community work-wise but I just don’t right now. Hard to get in anywhere without friends, I am a safe, well practiced shooter just looking for an opportunity. Thanks for the help

I have previously purchased handguns and recently, last Thursday, went to buy a shotgun. I was told today that I haven’t been approved or denied yet. The person working the counter said this is odd since it ha been a week. Does anyone have any input on this? I thought the government had 5 days to approve or deny. I’m just confused since this has never happened for handgun purchases or my ccw.

I got a flyer today in the mail from them, and was interested in possibly checking them out. I don't particularly feel the need to CC, but I think it's probably not the worst idea to get a permit, and they're reasonably close to me.

Anybody have any experience with them? Are they considered reputable or not?

Say someone from an adversary country (judging by looks, language, etc) like Iran or China walks into a gun range, club, or shop, would that person face any hostilities especially during all these middle east conflicts and competition agsinst china?

I’ve got a buddy coming to visit from Kentucky in October and sporting clays has been something we do when we get together.

Currently located near Oconomowoc and have been to Wern, Milford, McMiller, Waukesha, and Boxhorn. Prefer public places without needing to be a member and likely during the week between Monday and Friday

Looking for a couple of good recommendations within about 2 hrs max. Walking or carts doesn’t matter, we get a cart if it’s a longer course but not a deal breaker.

Thanks!

Looking for a good tactical shooting training company(or individual) for carbine, pistol, low light, etc in North Eastern WI. Willing to go further if there is something that is really worth it.

So ill cut the the chase... (and don't give me no "your the first target B.S. Concealed carry is better, ECT)

I've moved here some time ago and only open carried at Night out walking in rural areas. Never had any interaction with anyone since prolly due to darkness.

Is their any places in southern wisconsin, or even central that isn't gonna cause alot of issues, I.E alot of karens or police harrassing you?

I'd love to exercise my rights and want to do it without any hassles... Trails or wooded areas are preferred.. but any locations would be welcomed to be considered for a day trip and explore more of this state.

and yes, i have a level 2 retention holster...

Thanks

Moving from South East WI to South Central WI. Going to be commuting between Mt. Horeb and Monroe, curious if there are any decent ranges along the way??

Columbus Sportsman Association and Winnequah Gun Club look really promising for the types of shooting I want to do. NRL22, PRS, 2-gun/3-gun, action rifle/carbine. But they are a bit far away to go to after work on a weekday.

1st, is there anything like them between Mt. Horeb and Monroe?

2nd, if not, what's a good "normal" range between them?

I’m looking for a good FFL between anywhere between MKE Racine or Kenosha counties

Most of the big names I know of want pretty outrageous prices for transfers or don’t do them

Also welcome any good gunsmith recommendations

My non-resident Florida CCW is up for renewal and I need to go through law enforcement for fingerprinting. Does anyone know any PDs near the Dells that will do it?

So, you've sat through the course on all the basics of your CCL and by this time you've started to get used to the CCL lifestyle. But how often do you train that way? How often do you have a 360° live-fire training environment?

Well here's that time. Saturday, August 17th at Aurora Sportsmans Club in Waterman, IL - We The People Firearms Training is hosting an Advanced Concealed Carry class where we start off with holster draws, moving and shooting, fighting for and over a gun, how to deal with people in front of and behind your targets, malfunction and reload drills on the fly, the whole nine yards.

Class will be around 8 hours, taught by Marine Corps combat vets, lunch will be provided - all for $350.00. Use code lv2train at checkout for 10% off - discount ends 8/12.

Open to anyone who already has their CCL from Illinois or any other State. Please see website for a list of gear items.

Obviously, in today’s society, always looking to save a few bucks. Does anyone know of any lower priced FFL’s for a rifle?

Hi all,

I'm located in Greenfield and was wondering if there was any places to shoot nearby that allow use of buckshot. and/or birdshot. All the places I've looked nearby prohibit it. I use a 12 ga Mossberg 590 for home defense and I would like to shoot it more to get used to it but I would prefer to shoot 00 buck instead of slugs.

Hello all, just posting on the off chance anyone knows a place where it's possible to do a bit of shooting after dark. Just got my first PVS14 and would love to get the chance to put my IR gear to use - but don't have any private land access or connections personally. I reached out to one or two ranges in the area to see if they'd consider it but I doubt I'll have much luck. Thanks in advance if you have any info!

I was looking to pick up a Ruger Security 9 Compact and LCP for CCW. I have a concern though, both guns are blued alloy steel, making them susceptible to rust. How bad is general WI humidity when it comes to CCW? If I keep them well oiled, am I good? Or should I try to opt to stainless options.

(The Security 9 would be IWB and the LCP would be in a pocket holster)

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

Leverguns are hot right now and I had been casually looking for a deal on one in 357, preferably a Henry Big Boy X. Outrageous prices are being asked for on gunbroker.com, so I told myself that if I was to run across one, I would have to snag it, post haste.

Well, I walked into WI Firearms & Transfers to check them out and what, to my wondering eyes did appear, but a 357 Big Boy X...the precious.

Not only was it marked at a great deal, but since it was the day before "Fuck Off Tyrants!" Day, I asked if there were any holiday specials and 5% was taken off without hesitation. I think I got about the best deal available in these here United States! This is going to be one hell of a suppressor host with my Rugged Obsidian 9!

This place is great, quite an interesting collection of gear. Nice guys...highly recommended!

Hi people! I have a few flintlock muzzle loaders that I'd very much love to put some balls through, but my understanding is that very few ranges will let you put black powder down range, mostly because of it smoky a f. Does anybody know the nearest preferably public range that a person could pop off a flintlock pistol or Kentucky long rifle?

Is there anything else that I'd need to do permit-wise to just do some gun testing and at best target shooting?

Thanks!

Edit to add: I'm not 100% sure these things will actually fire, but I have no idea how to even test that. Like is putting powder in the pan a problem just to see if it'll light? Running blank charges in city limits seems like something that the local constabulary would object to, so I don't want to run afoul of the law.

Tally ho, lads!

(edit again to add, this is a serious question. I really do have flintlock muskets I really want to make go boom)

I have my class A large capacity license in Massachusetts, but curious if I would be able to use a FFL dealer to purchase a rifle while living out here.

Where can I go practice shooting a pistol without joining a club or paying an outrageous price? Some kind of public land for free would be the best.

In the market for a Beretta 694 but want to be able to hold it and shoulder it before I purchase it. Cabela’s and Scheels both carry the gun just not in store and I’d really like to see and hold it in person.

Are there any guns stores in WI that carry premium shotguns for trap/sporting clay? Wouldn’t mind checking out some other brands/models too.

I understand if I carry a hand gun in my vehicle as I am travelling through WI, if its loaded it needs to be above the window line and in plain sight. But what about if it is unloaded? First time travelling with an RV across country and ending for a few days in WI. Every state is pretty clear on the way there, that I can just keep my gun in a lock box, unloaded, and we are fine, but with WI, it only really seems to talk about a conceal carry law or it being left out on the open in plain sight if its loaded. Thanks.
