Can a non-resident apply for a Wisconsin CCW permit?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, if they frequently conduct business in Wisconsin

  3. No, only Wisconsin residents can apply

  4. Yes, but only if they are active military stationed in Wisconsin

The correct answer is: No, only Wisconsin residents can apply

This answer may be surprising to some, as most state-issued CCW permits allow non-residents to apply. However, in the state of Wisconsin, only residents are eligible to apply for a CCW permit. This is due to Wisconsin's laws requiring applicants to have a valid, state-issued ID showing a Wisconsin address. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they go against the state's residency requirement. Option A, in particular, may be tempting as it appears to offer an easier path to a CCW permit. However, this option is still incorrect as non-residents are not eligible to apply for a CCW permit in Wisconsin.
