What was he hunting Richard Connell?
Nope that is for anyone under 14.
Minors 14-17 may possess a firearm without an adult present. If they have passed a hunter safety course.
Says nothing about hunting.
Could have taken one in his own home state.
Would it be valid in Wisconsin?
Dude. 3rd time. If he passed a course it’s legal ONLY when in a area where hunting is allowed or when traveling to and from that area and when the firearm is unloaded and in a case.
Otherwise, he is in illegal possession.

It’s all starting to look intentional at this point.

Works that way in my state. Neighboring states and my state work together. Also the laws are about the same.
Glad you could lend some reality to this SneakySFDude. Some are caught in emotionalism and mob rule. Good job, Bro.
It helps if you spend the time to read your own link. The proof you provided does not say anything about anyone over the age of 14.
Send the link.
