I've got a nephew that lives in Danville, IN. He hunts coyotes with a .223 and a .270. He has access to a farm with wild hogs that came up from the South and he shoots those with a 300 Win Mag. But he can't legally hunt deer with any of those calibers. I've never understood that.

I advised him several times over the years to get a T/C Encore or Contender and a barrel in one of the rifle calibers. Strange he can legally use a pistol chambered for a rifle caliber but he can't use a rifle chambered in the exact same round. Maybe someone can explain it but I sure can't.

By the way, I signed your petition but I have to ask why you're singling out 30 caliber? What about the 7mms, the 270s, the 6.5mms, the 25s, the 24s and those bigger than 30 caliber. Shouldn't they be legal if the 30 caliber is legalized? Not everyone uses 30 caliber.
