The rule was created out of thin air by the Wisconsin DNR in 1999.

What a BS regulation.

Do Not Resuscitate.

Apparently fishing with guns is a lost art in the USA.

Exactly right. All regulations are written by one person.

It starts at your local city. They make up rules as they go. I am fighting it right now.

A law should be passed that any person or people who create or pass an unconstitutional law, such person or people responsible for the creation or passage of such aforementioned law, shall be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years and fined no less than $250,000.

It will stop the nonsense.

we desperately need to get free of unconstitutional agencies and agencies that create “regulations” to enslave us

[libertylover]

Well, it does say “for the purpose of fishing”. So, you can’t shoot a fish but, interpreted correctly, you can still use it for self-defense.

The congressional review act was a start. We need to have a tool like this in our states

Notice I said it is a “start”.

[JimRed]

So the criminals, knowing they are unarmed, will rob fishermen.

[smokingfrog]

Well, I hope they win. This is huge overreach by DNR.

[Bonemaker]

“No person may…[p]ossess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing.”

Must have been written by a democrat! All waters in Wisconsin are used “for the purpose of fishing”...not “might”!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Good. Sue them. It’s a stupid law. I’ve yet to hear of anyone arrested for shooting fish.

M80’s tossed in? Maybe... ;)
