How to get your Wisconsin concealed carry permit (Updated)

Senate Bill 948 in California proposes to transform the existing Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) into a licensing scheme. This bill would require individuals importing firearms into the state to obtain a valid FSC and include it in their report to the Department of Justice.

Critics argue this bill creates unnecessary burdens, potential criminalization of unaware individuals, and exacerbates existing range capacity issues.
