(Wisconsin Radio Network) Proposed legislation to allow so called “constitutional carry” for Wisconsin gun owners may not have much support.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, current state law requires training and state licensure for concealed carry. Previous Marquette Law School polls have shown strong support for that, but director Charles Franklin said the latest poll finds 78% oppose dropping those requirements.

That includes 72% of Republicans, 60% of independents and 90% of Democrats. The latest version of constitutional carry has been introduced by Republican state Representative Chanz Green and state Senator Andre Jacque.

Under the bill, “law-abiding adults” wouldn’t need a license to carry a concealed firearm in public. Previous “constitutional carry” bills have failed to come to a vote in either chamber of the Wisconsin Legislature.

Green and Jacque are also proposing another bill to make firearms, ammunition, crossbows and related merchandise exempt from sales tax each year on the Fourth of July and during the third week of December.

They are also offering an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution which would strengthen the right to keep and bear arms in the state.
