Found on another site. They want to increase the distance, which may prevent hunters from hunting certain areas. Hunters have enough common sense to respect the laws in the first place. These new restrictions probably came from all the transplanted new yorkers who had never seen hunters before.

Hunting has been going on since we discovered this country, this is just wrong. If you know a hunter who hunts this area, please let him know. If you can't attend the meeting, please register your protest via phone. More access lost.

The Wall Township Committee passed on first reading an ordinance that will prohibit a person from having a loaded firearm or nocked arrow while within 650 feet of any building, school playground or municipal park. Current New Jersey statues set the limit at 450 feet. This 200-foot increase will dramatically impact your access to hunting and will encourage further restrictions in the future.

On Wednesday, September 10 the ordinance will be considered for final passage. Please attend the Wall Township hearing and voice your opposition to this unnecessary and restrictive regulation.

The hearing will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Wall Township Municipal Building located at 2700 Allaire Road. If you are unable to attend, please call the Township Committee at (732) 449-8444 and respectfully urge the Committee to oppose this ordinance.
