hunter9mm:
I said nothing about transport of a loaded weapon. I wasn't being critical of you per-say on fighting the charge I was just trying to imply it seemed like an opportunity lost and of course your experience is importance to the effort.
Statute 23.33(3)(e)
Rules of Operation
23.33(3) No person may operate an all-terrain vehicle:
(e) With any firearm in his or her possesion unless it is encased in a carrying case, or any bow unless it is unstrung or enclosed in a carrying case.
23.33(3)(e) is a restriction on the operation of an ATV. It implies that transport of a firearm on an ATV is lawful if the firearm is encased. That adds another element of confusion to the situation because as I illustratedin my scenario. statutes 941.23 and 167.31 definitely come in conflict with each other if you transport a firearm on a vehicle that doesn't allow the firearm to be carried "out of reach". That is why 167.31 has to go. One statute says you can others imply you can't.
Nothing in my post was directed specifically at you. It only expessed a consternation.
