YES!! Now I have a lot more rifles that I can hunt with. The number will depend on the restrictions that they can still impose on us if this goes all the way and actually gets implemented.
Back to the serious stuff...
The rifle proposal in the legislature passed the committee 11-0 about an hour ago...
OK, so what else needs to happen for this bill to become law?
And the Fudds still chime in - Don?t allow high-powered hunting rifles
I'm gonna spitball passing the House, passing the Senate, and getting signed by Pence.
But that guy doesn't realize you can use an AK pistol with 30 round magazines already...
And how accurate are those AK pistols with 30 round mags?
That's not the point - the point is that the scary AK-47/30 round assault clip boogeyman he used is already 100% legal and he's completely ignorant of that fact.
Having grown up hunting in Kentucky with my last two deer killed there with .224 centerfires...I am kind of stupefied that Indiana does not have a max magazine capacity limit. Kentucky is 10 rounds and that seems completely rational to me.
AKs are legal in Indiana?
AK pistols, yes.
Screw PA.
Tired of how everything is referenced from there, NY or Wis.
Ruger came out with the .44 auto when? In the freakin' 60's..................must have some market for it.
Sure as heck wasn't Indiana deer huntin'. Or PA with their progressive thinking of no semi autos allowed.
When did Browning do their 92 in .44 mag? Or Winchester 94?
And that .30-06 for squirrel in trees nonsense.................horrible attempt at an argument. Drop it.
Makes one look like a moron for even mentioning it, as if what is legal always makes up for common sense.
Remember, the majority of deer hunters are probably not gun people.
And the rules as written now are not hard to understand, nor is the progression of them to this point.
If one doesn't understand them...........well that's just more reason to NOT allow reg HP rifle.
Not confusing at all.
If one simply doesn't like them, that's a different matter.
Willie said:But excuse my ignorance on this but what deer legal caliber does the AK pistol come in?
DNR said:Handguns, other than muzzleloading, must have a barrel at least 4 inches long and must fire a bullet of .243-inch diameter or larger. The handgun cartridge case, without the bullet, must be at least 1.16 inches long. Full metal-jacketed bullets are not permitted. The handgun must not be a rifle that has a barrel less than 18 inches or be designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder.
And how accurate are those AK pistols with 30 round mags?
My guess is that even with a trigger swap to good they'd be a 50 yard and in rig.
Pretty clunky they are.
There's a reason why you don't see a bunch of them in the woods.
