Last Year's Rifle Bill Amended...

[Bigtanker]

I believe the few rifle rounds, with their CASE length in excess of 3" , are meant to shoot stuff the size dinosaurs , not deer.

Not really. Maybe I just want to take a buck at 2,500 yards.

 

[avboiler11]

Yeah, I don't think too many people will have heartburn not being able to use 375/408 CheyTac or 50BMG for their deer huntin'...have to settle for "only" 338 Lapua.

 

[Woobie]

Listen, all you freedom haters. Some of us can't afford the expense of processing. By using a .50 BMG or .416 Barret, you can simply walk over to the crater and fill your grocery sack with hamburger.

 

[BigMatt]

I don't mind. It seems reasonable.

HB 1415 just passed in the full Senate. The vote was 41 for and 8 against.

 

[Mgderf]

HB 1415 just passed in the full Senate. The vote was 41 for and 8 against.

Back to the House then?

 

[cedarthicket]

Back to the House then?

To a conference committee to reconcile differences between the version passed by the Senate and the version passed earlier by the House. INMHO the major difference is that the Senate version contains a maximum CASE length of 3 inches and the House version does not. I would predict the finally adopted bill will include the maximum case length of 3 inches.

 

[Mgderf]

... I would predict the finally adopted bill will include the maximum case length of 3 inches.

That wouldn't really bother me too much.
I don't own a Howitzer.

 

[BigMatt]

Any updates would be appreciated...

 

[Willie]

It passed last Thursday. An upper limit (case length 3 inches) was included. That change will cause it to go to conference committee because the Houseauthor doesn't like the change.

My only question is, if I have two rifles with me in the stand (shed) can I have ten rounds for each firearm? Am I only limited to ONE rifle?

Two guns in different calibers = 10 rounds each
Two guns in same caliber = 10 rounds total between them.

 

[Willie]

Two guns in different calibers = 10 rounds each
Two guns in same caliber = 10 rounds total between them.

What IF my GUNBEARER has possession of the other ten cartridges?

What IF I have more than one GUNBEARER?

 

[Willie]

Delph, Tomes, and Young voted against this. Interesting.....

[Mgderf]

Is it still going to conference committee?

 

[Willie]

Is it still going to conference committee?

Yes...

 

[DThurston]

So, fewer approved rounds than last year? How is that an improvement?

No. It opens it up to anything .243 in diameter and larger with a case longer than 1.16 but no longer than 3". The copied section above does not show the changes. For some reason using the copy and paste function removes the strike outs and additions. Follow the link above and look at page four and five to read the bill as it currently stands.
