Supreme Court: Weapons allowed on Madison buses

Wisconsin Carry, a gun-rights advocacy group, challenged the administrator of Madison’s Metro Transit in 2014 after it had 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 in the group’s favor. Justices Shirley Abrahamson and Ann Walsh Bradley dissented.
