So you'd prefer to be put in prison now, rather than having society wait for you to actually commit a crime?
If someone is running towards your wife with a knife, are you going to wait for him to stab her before you shoot him?
My wife? I'll sit back with some popcorn and watch him get dismantled.
It’s a crime to carry a firearm without a carry permit in Wisconsin. It’s also a crime to bring a weapon to a school in most states.
Edit: No, it’s not ok that the police shot the kid. I’m just saying there was a crime committed.
You don't need a carry permit in the vast majority of states unless you conceal it in a holster on your person.
It seems you do in Wisconsin.

Well not the state this happened in, so that seems irrelevant.
He said most states as well, I'm commenting on that, not solely on wisconsin.
A capital crime where we can skip the trial and just execute you without due process? Without you entering the school?
That's next-level false, partly because it's state specific. You know this incident happened in Wisconsin, right? They let teens hunt deer with rifles, and while they need a hunting permit to do so, they don't need a carry permit.
In fact, if the rifle was unloaded - and there is no evidence it wasn't - it can legally be carried on school grounds in order to reach a hunting area.

I’m not justifying the response, but simply saying there was a crime. Shooting at the child was a failure of the police, with horrible repercussions.
