The Wisconsin Senate’s Committee on Senate Organization has voted to allow guns in the state Capitol, but not within the Senate chamber while in session. From an email that went out to Wisconsin Senate legislative staff today:

“An individual may carry a weapon in any space within the State Capitol that is assigned to the State Senate and/or the State Senate’s members or officers, provided the individual is not prohibited by law or Senate policy from carrying the weapon.”
