W.H. won't limit target shooting

In a move sure to please gun rights groups, the Obama administration announced Wednesday that it would not be restricting recreational target shooting on public lands.

Hunting groups had complained about an Interior Department draft policy that would have limited target shooting on certain public lands near residential areas, reports the Associated Press.

In a memo released as the Thanksgiving holiday was beginning, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he would take no further action to develop or implement the draft policy, which was written in response to complaints in Western states from residents who have clashed with gun owners who have used public lands near private property for target practice.

Gun rights groups had condemned the policy as unnecessarily restrictive, the AP said.

Salazar had commissioned a special advisory committee made up of stakeholders, including Ducks Unlimited, Cabelas and the National Wildlife Foundation. The groups saw it as a federal bid to restrict gun rights, and pushed back against the draft policy, reports U.S. News and World Report.

High-profile reversal on public lands shooting

Whether the threat was ever as real as many gun rights activists feared, a draft plan put forth by the Bureau if Land Management that called for curtailed recreational shooting on public lands was officially derailed Wednesday by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
