"Private property"? Is that what they call The King's Land in Illinois?
No it would seem that "private property" is what they call "private property" From the article:
A report written by one of the two conservation cops who encountered Vandermyde that day on private property described him as having a “very aggravated and disrespectful tone” toward the officer who questioned him about his crossbow and wrote him the ticket — a claim Vandermyde flatly denied.He was given a ticket for not having his crossbow in a case. Which to me is a BS reg. It would appear that the "conservation officers" were trespassing when they gave him the ticket.
