Comments on: Senate Looks At Limiting Landowner Liability For Hunting, Fishing http://www.northescambia.com/2011/10/senate-looks-at-limiting-landowner-liability-for-hunting-fishing Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2011/10/senate-looks-at-limiting-landowner-liability-for-hunting-fishing/comment-page-1#comment-104655 David Huie Green Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:39:15 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=71884#comment-104655 REGARDING: "the proposal also faced questions from some lawmakers and the Florida Justice Association, which represents trial lawyers." "Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, questioned whether guests on the land would also have liability protections for damage they might unintentionally cause. “You just can’t have one side give up their rights and not the other side,” she said." Of course trial lawyers oppose it, where will they earn money if law suits are limited to reasonable cause? It is interesting that Nancy believes people should not be free from liability from allowing people access to their property unless those people were free from liability for what they did while enjoying that access. IMAGINE: "Sure was nice of Farmer Jones to let us cross his land to get to the creek." "Yeah, and while we're at it, let's shoot his cow." Interesting attitude which would permit the first only if it permitted the second. David for those seeking reasonable protection to acts of kindness, not acts of evil REGARDING:

It seems as time passed the public evolved into an out of control bunch of hooligans, that would litter and destroy, and just cause trouble in general. They will injure themselves and attempt to sue the property owner, It is no wonder gates are up and locked. I remember a time when landowners would allow public access to swimming holes.

Nancy Detert is wrong. Should people be so nice as to allow you to hunt their land and you shoot to close to the house and hit it. WHO in the heck does she think should pay for that DAMAGE? One is not the same as the other. THAT kind of stupid mentality by law makers is why we can never get anything done. THAT and the fact that Lawyers are just looking for someone to sue somebody because they get a third or better, that's a real big incentive! Sen. Nancy Detert is wrong.
