Welch questioned the effectiveness of an ordinance outlawing loaded rifles and shotguns in automobiles as a tool for combating roadside hunting. “How long do you think it would take to load?” he asked. “Three seconds for an experienced hunter,” Welch said, in answer to his own question. Foster interjected that frequent loading and unloading of guns would present more of a safety hazard than carrying loaded firearms in an automobile. With comments from the audience expanding to include both proposed ordinances, Col. Luke read the second ordinance that would make it illegal to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle except when the person believed that carrying a loaded weapon would prevent his life or personal safety from being endangered during pursuit of business or profession.
Bob Dennis prefaced his remarks in support of the proposed ordinances by stating that he was a hunter. He questioned whether the new legislation would encroach on anyone’s rights. Some people, particularly out-of-county hunters, “clearly hunt out of trucks along the road," he said.
Under current laws that make it illegal to shoot within 300 yards of a public road, the Game Warden has to actually see the rifle fired before he can take action, Dennis noted. The proposed ordinances would only make it easier for the Game Warden to enforce restrictions against hunting from the road, he maintained.
