Thank the Good Lord that the infamous "rifles on public ground" screw-up only involved public ground. I'll admit that part of me wishes that they had waited until next year.
I just happened to think about how hellish my job would be if the law had involved private land.
I guard the WM electronics department at night, and since we are always understaffed I answer the phone, mix paint, dip fish, and coordinate everything you can imagine with my radio. One other thing I do is respond to Sporting Goods calls and write Hunting/fishing licenses.
I still get customers that insist that a Firearms tag allows them to take an antlerless deer. "I did it last year," they say. Many folks are still fairly confused about the checking and temporary transport procedures.
I can only imagine the confusion this mess will cause. "I heard you can't use rifles at all!" "No, just the big ones! You can use PCR's on private land!" "No, just on public land!" etc, etc ad nauseam.
What a mess. I'm going to pull what's left of my hair out!
What do you all think about the emergency rule?
