Who knows. It's clear, though, that Nugent is being watched closely, and he would be wise to consult with lawyers about what he can and can't do.<br /><br />Now, I don't know what it means to have your "deer hunting license" revoked, because California has one license for all hunting, and you get tags too if you want to hunt deer. But it's clear some privileges were revoked.Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722078841361451161.post-68338840017774736562010-10-28T22:50:47.734-05:002010-10-28T22:50:47.734-05:00Phillip,
Target or lightening rod, all the same--t...Phillip,<br />Target or lightening rod, all the same--the anti-hunting/firearm leadership delights in this sort of thing. I used to really believe we were giving them way to much credit when we accused them of forming plots, that was until I wrote a series for SOF (back in the late 80s, I think, poor memory) and I got death threats in the mail! Those people are quite capable of latching on to something like Nugent's CA episode and then dragging it back to the surface at every opportunity--just for the gossip value--just as Bible Babe wrote. <br />I believe that with visability comes responsibility--something which I don't think is shared by some--eh? <br />glgGalen Geerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252610309377046803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722078841361451161.post-68412027283402352602010-10-28T22:44:52.810-05:002010-10-28T22:44:52.810-05:00Bible Babe,

The article link you provided simply lays out the story, just as it was reported in some hunting news outlets. <br /><br />Nugent has a big target on his back, not only because of his CA fiasco, but because he's got a big mouth. That's the risk of having him as a spokesman for the sport and for the Second Amendment... and one of the biggest reasons I have a problem with him. <br /><br />I have no doubt that there's a bit of a lynch mob out there waiting to tie him to the causes he supposedly supports, and thus discredit both. That's politics as usual... and in my opinion it's all B.S. I'm of the opinion that if you wade into a feces fight, all you end up doing is getting covered in feces.Philliphttp://www.hog-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722078841361451161.post-13582675444010433812010-10-28T06:08:43.689-05:002010-10-28T06:08:43.689-05:00I gotta agree, G--sounds like a load of collywobbl...I gotta agree, G--sounds like a load of collywobbles to me, too. I think it's one of those times when the other side has waited for years, looking for the guys on our side to screw up just enough to give them a toehold, then they use that as a way to throw everything they can find at us. By Ted messing up once, they now have a touchstone to refer back to everytime thay want to discredit the hunting community at large. They get to do the old gossip trick of saying,"Well, I'm not saying that he did anything wrong--THIS TIME, but you know, he DID do that other thing that one time, so...."<br />Keep us posted,<br />Bible BabeMama Said Nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308677020217781633noreply@blogger.com
