Wisconsin Becomes 49th State to Add Conceal Carry. By: Foard County News Early July 8th, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walked signed legislation making Wisconsin the 49th state to offer conceal carry to its citizens. This ended a hard fought, decade long struggle for its citizens to carry concealed firearms. The law takes effect November 1, and already classes are filling fast. Being near last to enact CCW gave legislators the opportunity to broadly define the law with elements that citizens in other states already enjoy. Some of these elements were designed to circumvent municipalities’ attempts to restrict CCW privileges. Among these practices by antigun municipalities, were to either enact local laws more stringent than state law, or rely on citizens lacking the financial resources to fight wrongful prosecution. The Wisconsin Legislature enjoined counties and cities from enacting laws more restrictive than state law. Going further, the Wisconsin law holds such public entities both civilly and criminally liable for violating citizens’ firearms rights. Municipalities while chafing under these statues have already instructed their attorneys to ensure their present laws comply with the state law. Other elements in the state law were clauses that immunized companies and establishments from gun crimes committed on their property provided they allowed legal firearm possession. Places that prohibit legal possession of firearms enjoy no such immunity. News agencies reported that some anti-gun groups removed their “No Guns Allowed” signage rather than risk suits from gun crimes committed on their properties. On the heels of this Second Amendment victory, the Nation Rifle Association filed suit in Illinois courts saying in light of the Wisconsin law and Supreme Court decisions, that the courts should instruct Illinois to allow gun ownership. The argument being forwarded by the NRA is that the Illinois government’s attitude towards firearms ownership is a sort of “odd man out.” To bolster their claims, the NRA cited laws that jurisdictions enacted with requirements impossible for their citizens to meet. In particular the NRA focused on the training requirements. Lawyers for the association called the court’s attention to laws requiring gun owners to receive firearm instruction at pistol ranges. These same jurisdictions, using their zoning laws, prevented the opening of these ranges. Some ordinances demanded unreasonable parking requirements and that the range have at least one range safety officer for every three shooting lanes. Illinois is not the only government receiving this kind of attention. In Washington, DC, home of the Heller decision that established the Second Amendment as an individual right not a collective one, was about to run afoul of the US Congress over these rights. When DC’s sole FFL lost his lease within the city boundaries, city officials were forced to spring into action. Washington, DC does not have any gun shops for its residents. Citizens wishing to exercise their civil rights to own a firearm must transfer one from another state. Without an FFL within the District of Columbia, residents had no means of transferring firearms legally within the District. City leaders feared that Congress might not wait very long for the city to correct this problem. Rather than accept firearms on Congressional terms, the city quickly leased space to the FFL in the city police department. Few prospective gun owners regard this as satisfactory considering the adversarial relationship with city agencies. Only time will tell if new legal challenges will need to be filed. No one should ever feel that these recent victories cannot be rolled back. They most certainly can. Gun owners should relish these wins just like football teams do. Celebrate, decompress, and then get ready for the next game…the opposing team surely is! |

Range Officer I Class - Sunday, September 11thAn RO I Class is being taught on Sunday, September 11th at 1:00 p.m. in the clubhouse at the range. If you have not already taken the course or if you would like to take it as a refresher (audit), contact Rattlesnake Blake (985-796-9698 / rattlesnakeblake@bellsouth.net) for more information. Course material can be downloaded from the SASS web site prior to the course, or you can get a copy when you arrive for the class. The RO I Class is the “meat and potatoes” of CAS. Due to some changes that have occurred regarding the rules, it is advisable that you audit the class (no charge) if you would like.
————————————————————————————-
Why Take An RO Course?
Perhaps the thought of taking an RO class has crossed your mind, but you have asked yourself the question, “But why?” If you have no plans of being a posse leader, you may have wondered if there is a need for you to sit in on an RO class. Any time we play a game, it always makes us better players when we know the rules of the game. Ours is a sport where the rules sometimes change from year to year. In addition, you need to know the rules of the game to perhaps personally support your position if a call is made regarding your shooting where you feel you were right in how you handled the situation. There will be two upcoming Range Officer classes (RO I and RO II) held at Coyote Creek in the coming months. If you would like to register for either of the two classes, contact Rattlesnake Blake. If you have participated in a previous class, it is recommended that you occasionally audit the class (no charge) to update yourself on changes that have taken place. |

Cowboy Action Shooting Youth Program
We have developed a youth program to introduce our sport to young shooters under the supervision of a parent/guardian.
Our Goal: To introduce young people to the pleasures and responsibilities of the shooting sports within the framework of the traditional Old West while using single action revolvers, rifles and a shot gun. Our #1 priority is SAFETY. There will be qualified firearms instructors present and local range officers of the Bayou Bounty Hunters to assist in developing the shooting skills of these young folks. Our intent is to provide a family-friendly shooting environment which can be enjoyed by all.
The program is being presented as follows:
* The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, "Old West" style.
* It is a timed sport in which shooters compete for prestige on a course of different shooting stages. Each scenario, as they are called, features an array of situations, many based on famous incidents or movies scenes, in which the shooters test their skills against steel targets.
* Our young shooters under the age of fourteen, who are referred to as buckaroos and buckaretts, can shoot 22 caliber revolvers and rifles and a 410 caliber shotgun. They will receive training in NRA safety instructions & Cowboy Acton Shooting orientation in order to embed the importance of SAFETY 1st and FUN.
Additional contact information can be found on our local web site: www.bayoubountyhunters.com or you can have interested parties contact:
