On Wednesday, January 29th, 2025, the Wisconsin Legislature Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR) approved the repeal of Wis. Admin. Code § NR 20.05(2).
“No person may…[p]ossess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing.”
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rule has been in place since 1999. It effectively banned the possession of firearms in wide areas of the State. The repeal took place because the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filed a lawsuit on June 6, 2024, as reported on AmmoLand.
