I don't see states restricting or banning modern in-lines at all. A state Game Commission or DNR may take it upon itself to impose such restrictions, but not likely. Some organized lobbying effort will have to made for the GC or DNR, to inact such restriction or bans. Even then if they do the proper research, like herd study, numer of hunters applying for such permits, and economic impact of such restrictions, they may decide that such restrictions or bans may not be warrented.

If they do inact restrictions on advanced in-lines for the muzzleloading seasons, will that open the door to more restriction on other seasons? Like would they restrict the use of 80% let off compound bows or compounds all together? Would they restrict the use of slugs during shotgun season and require 00 buck as the largest round you can use?

In many of the mid-western states, they do not allow the use of centerfire rifles during deer season, but you can use 220 swifts, 7mm STW's, 300 Win Mag's, ultra mags, or anything else you want to shoot coyotes and other varmints. yet, they may restrict what kind of muzzlelaoder one can hunt with. That don't make a whole lot of sense to me.
