Happy Anniversary To All My Fellow WI Concealed Carry Licensees!
I ran into 1 issue when I renewed my license & want to post a "heads-up"
My original license was "good" until Nov 1016.
My renewal form came in July 2016.
I renewed immediately & noticed I lost a few months, as my new license expires in July 2021 (5 years).
I called the WI Dept of Justice on this.
They said current WI law states the license CANNOT be valid for a period of over 5 years.
Had they made mine valid thru the original date (plus 5 yrs for the new license) it would have been valid for a period of over 5 years.
can't do that in WI, so you may want to wait until closer to your expiration date to renew.
I hope this makes sense.
