Wisconsin DNR to Repeal Fisherman Gun-Ban Rule

The rules will soon be changing for people who carry guns and go near the water in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on Wednesday announced the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has agreed to repeal its rule that essentially banned people from carrying a gun near any lake, river or stream in the state. The rule stated that no one can “[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.”
