I may get chastised by Mike for starting a thread that doesn't appear to be related directly to open carry. I think it is related. One of the remaining tasks concerning Wisconsin open carry is the recinding or modification of the vehicle transport statute. The vehicle transport statute is in principle a DNR inspired law. In order to get it changed we will need DNR support. The appointment of the DNR Secretary by the NRB has the possibility that theSecretary may be more sportsmen friendly and actually have some wildlife management and firearm experience. Presently the DNR Secretary is appointed by the govenor and becomes one of his minions. Essentially it gives the anti-gun Govenor dominion over DNR policy.

Need Your Help:SenatePublic Hearing Scheduled on SB 113,
Natural Resources Board Appointment ofDNR Secretary
DearConservationist:
Sportsmen and women did a great job last week at the Assembly Natural
ResourcesCommittee hearing on the DNR Secretary Appointment Bill.
Thank you!
[size=+0]One hundred and seventy three people representing over forty conservation and
environmental groups testified or registered in favor of AB 138 which would
restore the appointment authority of the DNR Secretary to the NRB. Only
nineteen registered against, largely business interests.
Senator Jim Holperin, Chair of the Senate Natural Resources Committee was so
impressed at the strong public turnout in favor of the bill that heimmediately
scheduled a public hearing in his Committee for August 13th for SB 113, the Senate
counterpart to AB 138.
We will need a strong attendance at this last hearing on this bill during this legislative
session. A strong turnout is necessary since we know the Governor is working hard
to get people and groups out to register against the bill.
On the same morning, at 10 am, in the Governor's Conference Room at the State Capitol,
the Hunting Mentor Bill and the Green Fur Bill will be signed into law. You can attend
those important events at the same time!
Once more, please come to Madison and either testify or register in favor of the
bill. Make sure to register your groupin favor ofthe bill.
