Minnesota and Wisconsin borders are clearly defined on navigational maps, as well as by the states themselves. Even though this is true, both states exercise concurrent jurisdiction of the waterway.

(Edit: IGNORE THIS)
<s>From my understanding, a Minnesota resident can carry a firearm on the river if they have a permit. The only condition is that they can not stand on the Wisconsin shore.

A Wisconsin resident could not carry a firearm, even if he had a Minnesota permit because they fall under Wisconsin's jurisdiction as a resident.</s>

So basically, if we're on the water, depending on which states LEO's stop us, we're f*cked........... :?

Go figure....... :roll:

Which works well if no one hires a lawyer and fights jurisdiction...Have any cases like that?

I don't remember any, this was 30 years ago. I was over there today and stopped at the SO but no one was available to talk to. I did find out from two fishing friends that you can fish anywhere on the boundry water with either states license but you can't stand on shoreline of either state and fish with the other states licinse

I did checkout that thread, but it didn't have an actual answer. Of course federal laws would apply on a navigable waterway, but they're primarily concerned with merchant vessels.

Unfortunately my understanding of concurrent jurisdiction did not seem to fit historical cases.


Adjoining states have concurrent jurisdiction on the waters forming their boundaries. The law of each state are valid when not in conflict and where there is a conflict the law of the state which is most restrictive in its character must prevail...
See STATE vs NIELSEN Supreme Court of Oregon May 12 1908


So unfortunately it seems any carrying a concealed carry weapon on a boundry water is prohibited unless both states allow it.

Of course, you could always carry openly... :roll: Let us know if you decide to do so - I'll gladly follow the case.

In Wisconsin you may not openly carry a firearm in a vehicle... Most boats are considered a vehicle. :(
