I'm curious where I can find WI off-duty carry laws. I'm a MN cop who lives in WI, I'm wondering if I am able to carry in WI and what I need to do.

HR 213 is a bill that was passed a few years back that allows all active law enforcement officers to carry off-duty anywhere in the U.S. As long as you carry your badge and dept ID you should not have problem anywhere. I live in southeastern WI and continuely carry off-duty when I go to IL (ie Chicago).

Its HR218...and provided you're a full time LEO NOT part time, you're good to go. However, i suggest you read the bill just to be clear on it. I'd check with MN POST, they've probably written a primer on the bill that would guide you in the right direction.Nobody ever wants to have to fight, but its a darn good idea for someone to know how.

Never trust fire fighters to point out a suspect.

If you are worried about getting arrested, contact the Sheriff, Police Chief or District Attorney in the county / city in which you live and get a take from them. As I understand it, Wisconsin has not adopted HR218 provisions or it's left up the individual county...it's been awhile since I've read up on this. I'll do some research and if it's any different, I'll re-post.
The specific WI Statute is 941.23
The link below will help you research the specific language, but the underlying issue would be are you a peace officer in the eyes of Wisconsin law as you are a MN Peace Officer? Or you could just get a part-time cop job in Wisconsin and that would resolve it -
Try this link too...

You can carry you side-arm off duty in Wisconsin under HR218 provisions if: your agency allows for off duty carry, you have proper identification, are not subject to any active disciplinary issues, and are current with qualification standards for your department. Off duty arrest powers would be that of any regular citizen, not as an officer.\

i went to new york city a couple years ago when i was still part time, i did not have a problem carring my sidearm there, in fact i had a nice conversation with the guy from the US park police when i was at the statue of liberty...In God we trust... All others check NCIC...
Shop smart... Shop "S" mart!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
