OC while fishing at a County Park?

imported post

Real quick, is OC legal at a county managed lake? The reason I ask is because I was out fishing today and came across a couple and their 3 pitbulls fishing on shore, and 2 of the dogs came at me and they weren't freindly. I was facing them both because I know enough not to give a pitbull my backside and as they barked and lunged at meI smacked'em around with my pole and by the time an owner came up, I snagged one of them in the neck with my rig and it took off. After that it got under control.

The woman was very apologetic but her "man" just shrugged it off and they argued to each other about why the dogs weren't tied up.

I cant help but think how this would have been different if I was with my 6yo boy.

Is it legal toOC around the lake?

Should I have complained to the office?

I was wearing my Wisconsin Carry shirt at the timebtw..

State statute...speaks of State parks. County parks would not apply.

HOWEVER, you may still receive hassles from local LEO's if the city/town/village/county you're in still has open carry restrictions on their local books.

29.089 Hunting on land in state parks and state fish
hatcheries.

(1) Except as provided in sub. (3), no person may
hunt or trap on land located in state parks or state fish hatcheries.

(2) Except as provided in sub. (3), no person may have in his
or her possession or under his or her control a firearm on land
located in state parks or state fish hatcheries unless the firearm is
unloaded and enclosed within a carrying case.

(3) A person may hunt deer, elk, wild turkeys, or small game
in a state park, or in a portion of a state park, if the department has
authorized by rule the hunting of that type of game in the state

s. 29.063 (5), if the person holds the approvals required under this

Wisconsin Administrative Code: NR20.05(2)

I'm not sure what role Administrative Codes play in the judicial sytem but this is what NR20/05(2) says in regards to firearms along waterways.

[align=left]NR 20.05 General restrictions. No person may do any[/align]
of the following:

[align=left](2) Possess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any[/align]
[align=left]time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for[/align]
the purpose of fishing.
