Bushmaster ACR

I don't know all the rules and I'm not trying to get banned. I have to purge all of my firearms. I am having a difficult time selling them in southern wisconisin for what they are worth. I also have my Bushmaster ACR in auction through gunbroker posted by dam road gun shop and it isn't getting the bids I expected. Feeling pretty dissapointed.

Where can I store my firearms?

I was going to join the military and I have a number of firearms that I would need to store. Storaging them with family members isn't an option. I do have a large safe and was planning on storing them in self storage inside the safe. Is there any climate controlled locations that allow that? Or any other ideas?

308 Ammo

Sold my AR 10 due to a bunch of QC issues. I now have 60 rounds of hunting ammo and about 40 rounds of Range ammo. Everyone that I know who has guns wasn’t interested/didn’t need. Wondering where the best place to sell it is? Just want to get a little bit of money back not looking to make a ton. Pawnshops were weird about it because the ammo is isn’t in original boxes.

Home robbery and gun theft. Hixton….

Hey all. Some not so good news. Got home from Opening weekend last night and found my garage door kicked in and my bedroom ransacked. 3 AR-15’s and 4 pistols were stolen. One very specific pistol will be undeniably mine. It is an Sig M17 with WIARNG red arrow and Ukrainian trident lasered on the slide. Also has “Les Terribles” and our deployment dates. It is numbered 6 of 32. Also has a vortex venom sight. Please keep an eye out for it at gunshops and if you see it call law enforcement. I’d appreciate your help.

Legal sites in SW Wisconsin for shooting

I've heard from some of the old timers in the area that there used to be more places to go shooting in the area. Plenty of people have said they used to go to local quarries to go shooting. Is that still legal to do that or would that be up to the quary owners discretion? If not is there other places that aren't widely known?

I know there is a public range here and there and plenty of sportsman's clubs but I really don't like being around strangers at the range and enjoy shooting on my own when sighting in a rifle or just doing some target shooting.

Ammo recommendations

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?

Firearms Dealer Questions - Explain the process please

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?

FFL recommendations for north Milwaukee area?

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

Question about incorrect/failed 4473

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!

How to restore gun rights?

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!

Firearm purchasing law question.

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.

CCW/Rifle training during business hours?

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.

Carrying in my truck

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!

Saukville Gun Club

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

Background check question?

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.

Opinions on Eagle Sports Range in Cudahy.

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?

Do geopolitical tensions affect attitudes?

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?

Sporting Clays courses in Central Wisconsin

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!

Places where open carry is tolerated..

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

Best Ranges Between Mt. Horeb and Monroe?

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?
