Oversight makes guns OK at stand-alone kindergartens

It appears Wisconsin's ban on guns at schools has one little problem -- it doesn't cover stand-alone kindergartens.

The Baraboo News-Republic reports that lawmakers are scrambling to close the loophole, left open by a legal definition of schools as places with grades one through 12.

Rep. Fred Clark (D-Baraboo) told the newspaper his staff is trying to figure out how many such kindergartens there may be in Wisconsin left open to guns under the current law, and have found 16 so far.

"And we're only about halfway through the list," Clark told the paper, adding that the exclusion of kindergartens from the gun-free school zone law was likely unintentional.
