Wall Residents - You Can Help Protect
Your Home, Your Family, Your Community
This Wednesday, September 10th,the Wall Township Committee
will vote on a new law to protect you and your home by expanding
the no firearms discharge distance from any building to 650 feet.
A small group of mostly out-of-town hunters are trying to stop this
new protection law from getting passed. In fact, these hunting
advocates want to reduce the distance where they can-hunt to enIy-
150 feet from your home. They are using any means possible to try
to stop this new law, including:
- posting threats and lies on their hunting website
- destroying public property by tearing down county hunting signs
- destroying private property by tearing down other no hunting signs
- trespassing on private property and threatening property owners
- illegally hunting in no hunting, no firearms discharge zones
- posting a petition on their website and in a local hunting store that
falsely says the township law will st()p-all hunting
You can help protect your home, your fam~ly,and your community.
Tell the Wall Township Committee you support their efforts to
expand the no firearms discharge safety zone to 650 feet:

Unity Among Sportsmen and Sportswomen Defeats Ordinance (The Benefit of Unity)

More than 50 conservationists gathered at the Wall Township Committee Meeting last night to support the last minute removal of an ordinance would have prohibited a person from having a loaded firearm or nocked arrow while within 650 feet of any building, school playground or municipal park.

Hunters, anglers, trappers, and a diver united to present a coalition protecting New Jersey’s hunting heritage from eroding due to the efforts of what appeared to be one family’s vendetta against outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen.

A husband and wife spoke on behalf of the ordinance, and were the only residents on recent records to support the 650’ perimeter rule. They were also joined by Ms. Doris Lin (see bio below.) **

Thanks to all of those who wrote and called the township in support of removal of the ordinance and especially to those that took the time to attend and demonstrate their commitment to conservation. A special thank you to Cindy Kuenstner of the Division of Fish and Wildlife and for her expert advice to the committee and for her attendance.

Sportsmen and sportswomen are slowly gaining respect and reasserting their rightful place in the minds and communities of New Jersey. On behalf of the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance I’d like to express my deep appreciation and sincerest thanks to everyone that attended, corresponded, cheered us on and wished us well. The results are truly a benefit of unity.
