MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ The state Supreme Court has overturned an appeals court ruling and sided with a gun rights group, concluding that the city of Madison must allow bus passengers to carry concealed weapons.
Wisconsin Carry, a gun rights advocacy group, challenged the administrator of Madison's Metro Transit in 2014 after it prohibited a passenger with a concealed-carry license from bringing a gun on the bus. The group argued Metro Transit's policy prohibiting weapons cannot supersede the state's concealed-carry law signed by Gov. Scott Walker in 2011.
The court ruled 5-2, with Justices Shirley Abrahamson and Ann Walsh Bradley dissenting. Justice Daniel Kelly wrote the majority opinion.
Wisconsin Carry President Nik Clark says the ruling will have implications across the state.
