A friend of mine got a letter from Assemblyman Jim Bacalles on this subject.. He confirmed that is was not voted on in the latest session by the assembly BUT he expects the assembly will probablyre-convene in the fall and it is likely it WILL pass at that time...
So, dust off the .270, but don't sell your slug gun YET...

So there's still hope for this year, that's great! That won't leave much time for a guy to buy a new rifle and get it all set up before season though. Can you tell us what month "fall" might mean?
