Guest Nature_Boy Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The Indiana NRC & IDNR are set to vote on a proposal on July 18th to legalize the use of rifles in Indiana that would fire pistol rounds already legal for hunting in the state. Exact rule says case length minimum of 1.2" and maximum of 1.6", and must fire a bullet of at least .357". Granted in Indiana you can hunt with a pistol of any calibur as long as it fires a bullet of at least .243". Many people are against the legalization of rifles firing pistol caliburs in Indiana. Just wanted to get the opinions of other Indiana folks on the forum and anyone else for that matter. I am 100% for this, as I look forward to more options to hunt with. Also I don't see much difference in my super redhawk with a 91/2" barrell and scope and a Marlin 1894 levergun with a 20" barrell. Just interested in your thoughts.

Guest rjeffers Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Indiana Members or anyone else I had not heard about this.. interesting. I would be all for it. I have never hunted with a rifle(and if bow season goes good i won't have to). When will we know the resuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Indiana Members or anyone else I've heard rumors about it for a while. I'm for it. Seems long over due. Be nice to have a lever gun in some of the tight spots I hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widowmaker Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Indiana Members or anyone else I AM NOT TO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN HUNT WITH...TO ME, I AM WAITING ON AN ANTLER RISTRICTON RULE ALONG WITH THE ONE BUCK RULE. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
