I'm considering relocating to Wisconsin in a couple years and have been researching, among other things, their gun laws.

I read through the info on handgunlaw.us and the WI government web site, but I'm still unclear on a couple points.

I see that they have preemption on gun laws, but it appears that aside from listed no gun zones, state/local governments are allowed to post no gun signs. Is this a common occurrence?

Secondly, violating a gun buster sign is neither a felony nor misdemeanor, but a "Class B Forfeiture". Is that similar to a ticket and fine, or does it also involve a criminal court proceeding?

It is good to see that you are allowed to store your firearms in your vehicle in no gun zones, and nice that knives are also permitted. Wisconsin laws are better than Ohio even with years of incremental improvements.

Any quirks in the law, Wisconsinites?
