You have a point there TQ. In the city I live in we are in the "shotgun only" zone due to it being an Urban Compact. NH allows rifle shooting in most parts of the state with the exception being urban areas where we can use(during the regular firearms season) shotguns, muzzleloaders and a limited number of pistols the smallest being the .357. This is done because of safety conserns and I don't mind the law a bit living next to a couple hundred acres of woods surrounded by homes and a school.

A person shooting at game and missing it with something going over 2000fps would be endangering people/property. I do not want to see muzzleloaders restricked in these areas yet I want to keep using a rifle like my encore.
