Before long they will be wanting to regulate led pipes, claw hammers, and lightard knots.

I think it has mostly to do with bow hunting?

relating to home rule powers, so as to authorize municipalities to regulate the use of bows and arrows; to provide for an exception;

They can already do that.

Well it was sent to the game and fish committee so I just assumed it has to do with bow hunting

 

[Throwback]

another feel good law proposition to appease a loud mouth minority of people

They can already do that.

Thanks for posting, we'll look into it. They don't have the legal authority to regulate hunting.

Just heard that it's been tabled, some of our folks had already been in contact with the Mayor and Council.

What happened to the legal right to hunt and fish in Georgia?

 

[Taco4x4]

Sadly Georgia is being taken over by rich people moving here from other states that want to change the way we live to suit themselves.

I was the one that had the getting pushed out of Standing boy WMA Thread a while back. This year was the worst ever. A lot more trails and that meant more people. More times than I can count this past season I have heard comments as I walk near a trail and someone sees me with my crossbow. Things like OMG they let people hunt here while we are using the trails. I knew it would be a matter of time before they tried to shut us out all together.

Amen!

So what is the reason for the bill on bows and arrows?

 

[Taco4x4]

I think it's archery of any kind. First it was no firearm hunting in city limits only archery for safety reasons but now they want to take that from us to.

 

[lampern]

I'm surprised cities and towns in Georgia can't outlaw the discharge of bows and arrows for safety reasons.

 

[Taco4x4]

That's exactly what they are attempting now. Seems to me.

Looking at the bill it doesn't mention discharge but it does mention possession

Exempts private property though
