Knowing you're in MI - you're neither "mid" nor "west".
Most of our states that actually ARE in the Midwest have common sense built into their gun and hunting laws.
If the Mississippi River counts as "the West," like it did 200yrs ago, and the "midwest" and "west" included Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, etc, then sure, there are a lot of foolish things going on.
Out here in the REAL Midwest - we're doin just fine.
Take it however you want! You are turning into one argumentative dude on this thread and now choose to tell us your version of what states are classified as to where, LOL! You took this whole thread off on a tangent when you brought the Feds and BATFE into what was being discussed here as a state law or regulation for hunting purposes and nothing more than that. Please stay with you rifle and ballistics knowledge, as I know what states are classified as midwest. Here is a map of what is considered the midwest states. Whether you like how they are classified is beside the point of how they actually are!
