The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is one of 15 game agencies in 15 states that has been named in a civil rights complaint of discrimination against those agencies for not permitting the use of rifle scopes during special muzzleloader deer seasons.
The complaint was filed by the North American Muzzleloader Hunting Association and claims that since other firearms including center-fire rifles, handguns and slug-loaded shotguns can use rifle scopes as a sight aid, to deny the use of a rifle scope for muzzleloaders is discrimination due to age, sight disability and segregation, said Toby Bridges, founder of NAMHA in a letter of complaint to Dirk Kempthorne, Secretary of the Interior.
