On April 21st,
Senate
Bill 35 is scheduled to be considered by
the Wisconsin state Senate, sponsored by Senator Van
Wanggaard (R-21) that will repeal the
48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases. It is a move to update
legislation to match the Second Amendment concealed carry law. The
law, first enacted in 1976, was passed before background checks were
processed. The National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) makes the
48-hour waiting period unnecessary - wasting time for the purchaser
and the dealer. SB 35, when passed and signed by Governor Scott
Walker, will allow a licensed firearm dealer to transfer ownership of
a handgun following notice from the Department of Justice that the
purchaser has passed a background check and not prohibited from
possessing a firearm.
Contact your state Senator
and respectfully urge him or her to vote YES to the passing of SB 35.
If your state rep or senator has already committed to passing this
important bill, then do not hesitate to contact him or her and thank
them.
