I’m new to shooting and I recently bought a 12 gauge bullpup shotgun and looking to bring it to an outdoor range. What kind of ammo. I’ve read 4 shot buckshot is good?

I don't understand how online 2a retailers transfer guns to individual FFLs for transfer to customers. Sorry if these are dumb questions.

• Do all FFL holders do transfers? If not how do retailers know which ones?
• What if the FFL operates out of their home, and goes on vacation do they stop getting shipments?
• The online retailer needs a copy of the FFLs license to process, so do they have to call or email on each order to get it for an FFL they don't it on file?

Looking for the cheapest priced FFL for transfers in the general vicinity of the north shore or southeastern ozaukee county. The near west/south side of the city would also be suitable.

So I have understood that to purchase a handgun u must be 21 but u can possess one at 18 would this mean it’s legal to manufacture one for personal use and open carry or would this be illegal wanting to educate myself more on the subject

Hey guys, I’m new to Wisconsin and found RCLRC is the closest range that allows me to shoot at distance. I was wondering if there are any members that could potentially sponsor me? I travel for work during the week or I’d be all over the Wednesday night practice days. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I went to Cabela’s to pick up a .22 pistol I had ordered online. After waiting nearly 2 hours just to begin my background check, I finally began the process. Breezed through the online 4473 no problem, and then shortly after filled out the paper copy. I was in a rush and kind of frustrated because I had been in line so long, and I completely pencil whipped the paper form. Well, I wound up filling something out incorrectly and the employee informed me he couldn’t sell me a firearm. In hindsight I think I possibly misread the question and answered “no” to the straw purchase question (“are you purchasing the firearm for yourself not another individual…”). I asked what I messed up and he said he was only allowed to tell me that the way I had filled out the form, he could not sell me a firearm. So pretty bummed, I apologized for the mistake and joked that I would come back next week and make sure I filled the form out correctly. At which point another employee told me I couldn’t buy a firearm there anymore. To be clear I can legally purchase and own firearms, I just messed the form up due to negligence on my part. I know better and feel like an idiot, but now I’m wondering about the consequences of my error. So my understanding is that Cabela’s wouldn’t have submitted my 4473 due to the error, correct? In which case the doj/ government wouldn’t have been notified and I shouldn’t have any red tape next time I purchase firearm? As far as not being able to purchase a firearm there again, does that mean I’m blacklisted from every Cabela’s location? And forever? Would appreciate any feedback from those of you with experience. Thanks!

hey guys, when I was 15, I went thru a really bad break up, as well as lost my grandpa all within a week and long story short I ended up being committed for a involuntary 72hr mental health hold and the courts took my rights to firearms, even tho I wasn’t actually a threat to myself or anyone; I was just a kid going thru stuff and said stupid stuff.. but I am now 24, and want to go about getting my rights restored to own firearms. does anyone know how you start to go about restoring gun rights with this type of situation? Any advice is greatly appreciated; thank you!

Am I ineligible to purchase a firearm if I did a 72 hour voluntary inpatient psych hold? It was 6 years ago, I had already purchased a firearm beforehand with no issues and was on anti depressants at the time too.

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 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

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.
