Apply Now For 2010 Arizona Elk, Pronghorn Hunts
Beat the rush – take advantage of the correction period to fix errors.

Arizona Game and Fish Department

Arizona --(AmmoLand.com)- Applications are now being accepted for Arizona’s 2010 elk and pronghorn antelope hunts.

The 2010 Pronghorn Antelope and Elk Hunt Draw Information regulations booklet and application forms are available online at www.azgfd.gov/draw.

Printed copies of the booklet and forms should be available at department offices and at license dealers by the second week of January.

Applications must be submitted to the Arizona Game and Fish Department either by U.S. mail to P.O. Box 74020, Phoenix, AZ 85087-1052 or by hand delivery to any Game and Fish office. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010 by 7 p.m. (MST). Applications must be in the department’s possession by the deadline – postmarks do not count.

Hunters whose applications are received during the “correction period” will receive up to three calls from the department in a 24-hour period if an error is found on the application. If the applicant is reached by phone, the department will try to help fix the error to prevent the application from being rejected. The correction period ends at 5 p.m. on Jan. 21.

Hunters are reminded that a 2010 hunting license is required to apply. Department officials encourage hunters to get their license before applying for an elk or antelope hunt permit-tag if they wish to do any other hunting in early 2010. Licenses purchased through the draw process will not be mailed out until after the draw is completed.

Idaho Sport Shooters Alliance Mobilized & Ready for 2010

Idaho Sport Shooters Alliance

Troy, ID --(AmmoLand.com)- In the past two years Idaho Sport Shooters Alliance (IDSSA), has had remarkable success.

Idaho now has some of the strongest range protection laws in the country. Instructors, match directors, and match officials no longer have to fear nuisance lawsuits that threaten to put them out of business. Firearms laws are now required to be uniform throughout the state. With your help we will add to these successes in 2010.

We are currently drafting bills which (among other things) will remove some location prohibitions on concealed carry and offer an opportunity of rehabilitation for certain people under Federal firearms restrictions. When the legislative session in Boise starts we will monitor the legislative proposals and report to you on bills that have the potential to affect firearm ownership and use or shooting ranges whether obviously firearms related or not. Finally, as part of our core mission, we continue to work with multiple government agencies and elected officials to improve funding for shooting ranges and locate land for new ranges.

We could not have accomplished anything without you, our members. Your continuing support is what makes our efforts possible going forward. If you or your club has not renewed your supporting membership yet please take this opportunity to do so. No one takes a salary and all membership funds go directly to supporting our mission. Membership support is our sole funding source.

As always: thank you again for your support and if any Idaho gun owners, or gun club members have any questions or concerns about issues that they would like to see addressed please feel free to give IDSSA a call.

The Idaho Sport Shooters Alliance is organized under IRS Code section 501(c)(4). Contributions are not tax-deductible because of our lobbying activities.
