Is it legal to open carry a firearm in a vehicle in Wisconsin?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but the firearm must be unloaded and encased
No, it is illegal to open carry in a vehicle
Only if the carrier has a CCW permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but the firearm must be unloaded and encased

In Wisconsin, the law allows individuals to open carry a firearm in a vehicle, but there are specific requirements that must be met for it to be legal. The firearm must be unloaded and encased, meaning that it should be contained in a case or other container that completely encloses it. This requirement is designed to ensure safety and prevent accidental discharge while the firearm is being transported. The other options provide different interpretations of the law, but they do not accurately reflect the specific conditions laid out in Wisconsin's regulations regarding open carry in a vehicle. Some options suggest that there are no restrictions or that carrying is outright illegal, which would not align with the legal provisions in place for transporting firearms in vehicles. Option D indicates that a CCW permit is required for open carry in a vehicle, which is not the case for open carry as long as the firearm is unloaded and encased.
