Debate about whether to remove hunting permits from the public record is reminiscent of the battle over making concealed-carry permits private, an effort that has been increasingly successful in the past few years. Supporters of such a public-records exemption say there's no reason the general public needs access to information about citizens who are simply exercising legal rights. "There are no downsides," says Idaho state representative Judy Boyle, a Republican who proposed the measure. If a hunter seems to be doing something wrong, she says, let the police investigate: "We're not vigilante people," she says. Millage...

...Wisconsin, where reports of hunter harassment more than tripled during last year's deer season, territorial landowners have clashed repeatedly with hunters, and hunters have clashed among themselves. Such reports are especially alarming in a state where there have been two fatal hunter shootings, leaving seven dead, within the past decade, says chief conservation warden Randy Stark. The increased number of reports is still minuscule in Wisconsin - there were only 15 harassment cases among 600,000 hunters - but each is treated as a potential tragedy.

...starting in the Reagan era - and, yes, Reagan was the most popular figure invoked in New Orleans, as has been the case at Republican gatherings for two decades - was based on the three-legged ideological stool of smaller government, a strong national defense and family values. But in the past few years more moderate Republicans and up-for-grab independents have become increasingly turned off by the emphasis on that third...

...Both sets of issues, supercharged by the Tea Party movement, provoked the kind of reaction in New Orleans that Republican leaders have seen around the country - raw, intense and emotional. In the past, appeals to the pocketbook and concerns over Middle Eastern alliances have not always stirred the same kind of passions that are sparked by talk of late-term abortions and gay marriage. But something about Barack Obama and his economic and security policies (not to mention his style and agenda) seem to inflame the American right in a way that equals - and perhaps exceeds - the ire inspired...
