It goes back to the era of blue laws....used to be a lot of things banned on Sunday only.

This law is being protested by some pastors and others - defending the state’s “Christian heritage.” I am all about that, but I’m trying to find out where, in the Biblical Christian heritage, there is anything said about believers forcing non believers to honor the Sabbath, or forcing them to do anything at all frankly.

I follow Jesus, and I do not hunt...but I think the ban on private property is absurd, and this lifting is a good law.

You just took me on a walk down memory lane, lol. I remember seeing the shields blocking the beer from view in the refrigerated shelves at convenience stores. They couldn't remove them and sell beer until after 12 noon.

I remember Blue Laws. Always wondered why they were called that. I agree with Christian Heritage being a big part of this state's history, which should not be denied. But it sure seemed to me like the Blue Laws were just this side of establishing religion thru .gov.
And I'd carry it over to any land for hunting. It's already legal on military bases IIRC. Christians will be in church on Sunday or whichever day they wanna be. There's no disrespect in someone hunting. I'd be curious what the arguments of those pastors consist of.
