The Personal Protection Act Goes into Effect in Wisconsin on November 1, 2011.
On Friday, July 8, 2011, Governor Walker signed the Personal Protection Act, also known as "concealed carry," into law. Under this new Wisconsin law, licensed individuals are allowed to carry concealed weapons throughout Wisconsin, subject to only a few exceptions. Because the law goes into effect on November 1, 2011, employers must immediately educate themselves on this law and take appropriate action. Please join us for a complimentary webinar on this topic by Reinhart Labor and Employment Shareholder Robert K. Sholl.
