To the best of my knowledge:
Indiana was going to outlaw single shot handguns (those such as .30/06, .35Rem, and other "long range" cartridges) but, in exchange, were going to offer the use of "cowboy cartridges" such as .44, .45/70, .30/30, pretty much anything available in a lever action rifle.
This is what I have been hearing. Heard the bill was just waiting to be signed or something or another this spring. I could very well be misinformed (don't care, doesn't affect me in the least). Just sharing what I've heard.
They did pass the law stating that we can now use pistol cartridges in rifles for hunting deer. But there is a case over all length requirement that rules out anything longer than a 500 S&W (i.e. 460, 30/30 etc.)
So maybe the other is coming also.
