On Wednesday, January 29th, 2025, the Wisconsin Legislature Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR) approved the repeal of Wis. Admin. Code § NR 20.05(2).
“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.”
Because the violation of the United States Second Amendment and Wisconsin Constitution Section 25 was obvious, Acting Secretary of the Wisconsin DNR Steven Little agreed to to repeal Wis. Admin. Code § NR 20.05(2) as soon as possible.
The website of the Wisconsin Administrative Code shows the rule has been suspended since December 17, 2024.
Bureaucracies move slowly. Changes in administrative rules in Wisconsin must be approved by the legislature, specifically the Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules. On January 29th, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the JCRAR had approved of the repeal of the rule. From jsonline.com:
After announcement of the lawsuit last year, the Department of Natural Resources pledged to repeal the rule, and said it already didn’t enforce the rule. But, the agency said, anglers still won’t be allowed to use guns to shoot fish, just simply carry them for protection.

Firearms have very little penetration in water and are useless for fishing anyway. I prefer dynamite for pond fishing.......
Well, that's one way to prevent people from losing their entire arsenals while fishing.
Now that the jokes are coming :)
I had to read to get grisly images of the connection between the 2nd Amendment and ”Do Not Resuscitate” out of my head!
Great advice! my neighbor said, though, be careful of dynamite fishing in a particular local lake because when O. was prez a lot of poor unfortunate folks lost whole boatloads of Guns and ammo. while fishing dontchaknow.
Oh, never mind 🙄
When I left Wisconsin, the state of my birth, in October of 1980, the DNR was already a corrupt organization, using thugs and goons to strong-arm folks who owned property on recently designated “wild rivers” to sell out to the state. We had 40 acres on the Pike River in Marionette County that my Great Grandfather had purchased and we successfully resisted.
I hope that the DNR gets its wings trimmed…with a figurative chainsaw!
PRETTY HARD TO DUCK HUNT———
Im thinking Do Not Resusitate
—”I prefer dynamite for pond fishing.......”
A frag works best, they sink nicely and has a built-in timer that goes off at a good depth. M67 grenade fragmentation.
Occasionaly fish would float to the surface afterward and the Vietnamese would scoop them up.
“I hope that the DNR gets its wings trimmed…with a figurative chainsaw!”
A friend’s family are farmers near Peshtigo Wisconsin, and I hunted there for many years.
Until a group was TRAPED by the NDR.
A trail around a thicket goes between two fields at one point it is illegally close to a road you cannot see.
But DNR measured it with a tape measure...
It cost them $100 each.
It was a setup.
Wink, wink so how much dynamite is required to fish just like Crocodile Dundee {1986 action comedy film set in the Australian Outback and in New York City. It stars Paul Hogan as the weathered Mick Dundee}
That smells like them. The eco-freaks from the University of Wisconsin - Madison took over most of Wisconsin government, especially the DNR.
I've always used a rod and reel but never had any luck. So, I thought I'd try a new approach....
