Question:
Thanx for everything you do
With all these new gun policies…
I’m wondering if someone wants to use my property for hunting, and accidentally shoots someone, will the owner of the property have any liability? Will they be able to sue me or something even more, or it goes only on the person with the weapon that shot?
The Chief’s response:
I am not an attorney and cannot give out legal advice, but I would think that as the owner of the property you may be held liable in a civil suit. The hunter may be liable both criminally and civilly – that would depend on if charges such as negligence, etc were filed.

A hunter is allowed to hunt on private property without permission??
What does this question have to do with any new gun policies, whatever liabilities the hunter or property owner would have they would have regardless of whatever unconstitutional law the Democrats pass.
If I recall correctly, hunting within a certain distance of private property (other than the property you are on, which requires explicit permission from the owner IIRC see above comment) requires certain notice to the neighbors and a heightened diligence. I don’t remember the exact details because I never wins up actually getting a hunting license, but the state AG has some decent resources on the topic.
Stop hunting!!!!!!! it’s animal cruelty
