Mr. Dan Curley:

I will take the one about firearms. It is our understanding that it is only the owner who could do it. The owner could not invite a gun club member to do it. The law only says the owner. That may be something this committee could look at and possibly change. It would allow the farmer to get a gun club member down the road who may have a far more powerful rifle. The member may shoot deer or foxes and would have the necessary equipment to do it far better. The average farmer might only have a shotgun, with which someone would have to get within 30 or 40 yards of a dog to dispatch it. It would only be a small amendment but it could be an important one.
