WI DNR Ends Gun Ban Near Water

Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources is going to end its ban on carrying a gun near the water.

The DNR agreed to repeal its 1999 rule that stopped anyone from carrying a gun near a lake, river, or stream as part of a settlement with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. The DNR approved the gun ban after first banning fishermen from using their guns to help catch large fish like muskie or sturgeon.

But WILL said the gun ban infringed on the Second Amendment. It will take some time to repeal the rule. The decision to end the ban on guns, however, does not do anything to the law that bans fishermen from using guns to catch fish.
