Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly are on the record as wanting to lower the concealed carry age in the state.
State representatives yesterday approved a plan that would allow people as young as 18-years-old to carry a concealed pistol. Currently you have to be 21 to get a concealed carry license. Supporters say 18-year-olds can vote and be sent off to war, there’s no reason they can’t be trusted with a pistol. Democrats fear the change will lead to more guns on the street. It’s unlikely that Governor Tony Evers will sign the plan if it makes it to his desk.
