Article I section26: The people have the right to fish,hunt,trap and take game subject onlyto reasonable restrictions as prescribed by law.
I mentioned that amendment only in regards to whether or not the DNR has theauthority to restrict the carry of firearms in the 24 hour period preceeding the regular deer hunting season. The DNR has been givenprima facierule making authority. That means that any rule made by the DNR is as prescribed by law unless found otherwise by a court of law. The question is can the DNR, acting under the authority of one constitutional amendment, pass a law that conflicts with the rights contained under another constitutional amendment. Remember, the SSC has ruled that Article I section 25 is not unfettered and is subject to reasonable regulation. Only the State Supreme Court can untangle that situation. Who wants to step forward and challenge. My opinion
