Except AFAICT open carry of long guns by minors 16-17 is legal in Wisconsin, as long as if you're hunting you have the appropriate license. And the gun itself is very definitely legal - IIRC it's the most popular "modern sporting rifle" in existence, and millions exist in similar configurations.

I was under the impression it was illegal for a minor to be open carrying. By illegal gun I meant not registered to him, correct me if I'm wrong. Was it legal for him to own the gun in Illinois? He was also breaking curfew.
- DuskStar 6y ago1. It appears to be legal for minors 16+ to open carry long guns in Wisconsin. The law is convoluted, though, and there is quite some debate around this - it is certainly allowed for hunting, and may also be allowed for other purposes. (Concealed carry would be illegal, though) 2. Guns do not have to be registered to an individual in most states. (As in, other than the ones like CA, NY and NJ) 3. It appears to be legal for minors 16+ to possess long guns in Illinois, if you jump through the appropriate hoops - see https://www.ichv.org/legislation/illinois-state-gun-laws/ https://www.ichv.org/legislation/illinois-state-gun-laws/ Yes, he was breaking curfew.
