OUTDOOR NEWS:   Missouri Introduces Bill to Hold Businesses That Post “No Guns” signs Liable. Most of us are frustrated by the prevalence of signs that prohibit us from carrying in various businesses that we encounter day to day. Another way would be how Missouri is dealing with it. There, legislation is being considered to hold businesses who prohibit firearms liable for injuries to people who could have defended themselves.  Certainly, businesses are averse to incurring liability. Such a remedy would bring more CPZ signs down faster. That’s good for everybody.

In local news, the Manitowoc County Deer Advisory Committee (CDAC) met at Viking Bow & Gun Club on Saturday at noon and there was only 13 citizens there to voice their opinions dealing with CWD issues. A very good point brought up by a committee member was, only 1,600 people in the whole state of Wisconsin submitted feedback during a public comment period which ran from Dec. 20^th to Jan. 3, 2017. 1,600 out of nearly 600,000 deer hunters in this state. Boy, all of you are really something if you do not care that much about your deer problems in the state. Listen, I’ve said this many times, if you do not care enough to take off 2 hours for the day to express your opinions or input into a state conducted meeting, please keep your mouth shut if you do not like how the rules are being made by those of us who did take the time to show up at the meetings. It’s always the same people at these meetings who care enough for a sport we are trying to protect.
