no rifles in 5c and 5d.
« on: January 14, 2008, 12:58:08 PM »
page 18 here is stating that there will be no rifles in 5c or 5d.  http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/pgc/lib/pgc/pdf/january_agenda_2008.pdf   is there anyway we can try to get it thrown into legislation about allowing rifles smaller then a .22 centerfire for varmints?  I do not live in the countys that this effects but do you think we should try to get it reworded.  time is short.

I was wondering if the PPHA was going to take a run at this BB.

I really don't thinkg the PPHA would stand a chance on this issue.It's all about safety in 5C and 5D.Most of 5C and 5D have always been Special Regs area.Shotgun and rimfire only.Not saying that all of 5C should be rimfire only,just alot easier for the PGC to lump the whole WMU together.
