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.
That is a precarious position-- Encores have had published loads over 2300 fps for years, now, and slug guns long ago eclipsed 2100 fps. Difficult to draw an easy distinction.
I didnt think about that and i'm sure most dont....... but Randy is right, but I'm thinking if the restriction keep going in the negative direction slug guns will be restricted to smooth bore only and handguns will be restricted to rimmed pistol calibers no larger then 44 mag. And before you know it they will start restricting barrel length for pistols aswell.
