Guns Permitted Outside RNC Despite Recent Trump Assassination Attempt

Wisconsin law allows open and concealed carry in the outer security zone, overriding local efforts to ban firearms.

  • Firearms are banned inside the RNC venue and immediate vicinity, but allowed in the outer perimeter.
  • Wisconsin's state laws prevent cities from enacting their own firearm regulations.
  • Governor Tony Evers requested the Secret Service to reconsider the firearm policy, but the agency has no authority over state laws.
  • Local officials have criticized the policy, citing safety concerns, especially after the recent shooting.
  • The RNC will proceed as planned with heightened security measures in place.
