The Wisconsin Law and Liberty Institute (WILL) is challenging a DNR administrative rule that states that no person may “possess or control any firearm, handgun, or similar device at any time while on the waters, shores, or shores that could be used for any purpose.” fishing.”
Skylar Croy, an attorney for WILL, argues that this provision – Wisconsin Administrative Code 20.05(2) – violates the Second Amendment. According to Croy, the rule dates back to 1966, when an ordinance banning muskie shooting went into effect. However, this regulation did not cover something like carrying a pistol for self-defense.
According to Croy, catching fish with a firearm is illegal in Wisconsin, which is not the heart of the problem.
