We had that argument over the past few years. It's gone through all it needs to go through, meetings, hearings and such.
Do you mean I have been collecting handgun caliber lever action carbines for nothing? I will have to use hunting prowess with a muzzle loader (one shot one kill) rather than firepower? Oh fiddle sticks.
Thanks mom. I like your trail cam pics.
Yeah. I won't argue one way or the other, I just seriously doubt we will convince the government that it is okay to use high powered rifles on public land. After reading about a bill the federal government is trying to pass now, we will be lucky if they don't take everything away but our bows and muzzle loaders. The thread started here earlier today.
Terrible Bill just introduced in the US Congress
Can any of our resident attorneys speak to this?i posted earlier but I will post again. What, specifically, changed from 2016 to 2017 at suddenly makes this an issue this year? Line 1 appears to be identical from year to year. DNR Saying that a law from this year makes all PCRs illegal seems like total BS
Right. And from the 2016 code it was exactly the same. Verbatim. So why is it an issue now vs last year?
It was a mistake made by legislators that know nothing about firearms or hunting. I spent several hours on this yesterday. Go back to post #72 and read through until post #98 It is explained through there.
So, on the subject, I took this out of the guide.
Handguns, other than muzzleloading
handguns, must have a barrel at least 4 inches
long and mustfire a bullet of .243-inch diam
-
eter or larger. The handgun cartridge case,
without the bullet, must be at least 1.16 inches
long. There is no maximum cartridge length
for those used in handguns. Full metal-jack
-
eted bullets are not permitted. The handgun
must not be a rifle that has a barrel less than
18 inches. (A rifle with a barrel less than 18
inches is not considered a handgun.
Has this changed too? I hunt on private land, but what are they targeting with that last sentence? I don't remember it before and what is the significance of 18"? I get that an SBR is not a handgun, but are they trying to do away with the AR handguns?
We all need to contact our legislators and let them know how much we want them to get this fixed!
