(1)  In this section, “dangerous weapon" means any firearm, loaded or unloaded; ...
(2) 
(a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
...

(3) 

(c) This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593


29.304  Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.

(1)  Persons under 12 years of age.

(2) Persons 12 to 14 years of age.

(3) Persons 14 to 16 years of age.

...

...

(4) Parental obligation. No parent or guardian of a child under 16 years of age may authorize or knowingly permit the child to violate this section.

(5) Exception.


Nothing in 29.304 applies to people between ages 16 and 18. 


941.28  Possession of short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle.  He isn't in violation of that

29.593  Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.  Doesn't apply, he wasn't hunting, and he's over the age of 16


So the law is quite clear, Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty of violating any WI law for carrying that rifle

Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not. So, let's lay some groundwork (thank you Twitchy ): Town population less than 3,000 County population about 220,000 40,000 people show up for "Bear Week", a week of gay celebration for people, many of who just spent the week before "Pride partying" in NYC One of the more popular bars "resembles a kind of dank dungeon where sweat drips from the ceiling and mold reaches up the walls" A large number of the people there are going for the sex.  Note: gay men having se
