Wisconsin Anglers Get Their Guns Back – Wyoming Anglers Say They’d Never Give Theirs Up To Being With

After 25 years, Wisconsin anglers won back the right to carry guns while fishing, but some Wyoming anglers said it would be stupid to ever give that right up in the first place.

Particularly where grizzlies are lumbering about, a .44 magnum could be part of the well-equipped Wyoming angler’s kit.

Even so, don’t entertain any thoughts of leveling your hand-cannon at a trout in a “make my day” moment with a menacing snarl like Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” character.

It remains patently illegal to shoot fish with a firearm in Wyoming or Wisconsin.

Indeed, people who try to blast fish with guns might very well be why Wisconsin banned anglers from carrying firearms in 1999.

Wisconsin’s ban on anglers carrying firearms had long irritated gun rights advocates there.

The conservative activist group Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty finally made a successful push against it, suing on the grounds that it violated the Second Amendment.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on Wednesday agreed to overturn the ban, and the lawsuit was dropped, the Washington Times reported.

Not really. If she is elected, issues like this are irrelevant as sheabd her party will enact gun rights crushing legislation.
