CCL Reciprocity: Warning to those who travel and carry
Our friends at the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association have been diligently working to expose the threat the Federal Gun Free School Zone statute poses to millions of law-abiding concealed carry license holders who exercise the reciprocity provisions between states for concealed carry licenses.
If you carry concealed in states other than the one that ISSUED your concealed carry license be aware you are exposing yourself to a federal felony. See the following letter dated July 25, 2013 from the US Department of Justice. This letter was originally received and published by the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association:

Wisconsin Carry, Inc. Files Lawsuit Challenging Madison Metro Transit "gun ban"
On November 19, 2013, Wisconsin Carry, Inc. sent a letter to Madison Metro Transit requesting they rescind their “ban” on concealed /open carry on Madison Metro Transit buses.
A copy of that letter is available here:

Wisconsin Statute 66.0409 prohibits political subdivisions of the state including cities, villages, towns, and counties from enacting or adopting resolutions that regulate the possession, bearing, and transportation of firearms unless those ordinances or resolutions are the same as, similar to, and no more stringent than, a state statute. Our legal team has exhaustively reviewed Wisconsin Statutes and finds no law that restricts the right of the people to possess and transport weapons on public mass transit. As such, we believe the Madison Metro Transit policy of prohibiting law-abiding people from legally carrying while they ride Madison Metro buses is preempted by statute and unenforceable.
Our attempt to avoid litigation and save the taxpayers of Madison the expense of funding the cost of defending Madison Metro’s indefensible policy was unsuccessful. A civil lawsuit against the City of Madison was filed today in Dane County Circuit Court.
