RE: Rifle in NY?
Why are you guys against rifles? Many states allow rifles, and there are not problems. I would think there would be more of a problem with trigger-happy shotgunners that with rifle hunters.
I live in PA, where rifles are allowed, and I have no problems with them. I am in 1B, I think, and they are talking about making it shotgun only because of Erie. Personnally, I am ticked. I understand in city limits, but my closest neighbor is 1/2 mile away.
I guess I really can't understand where you guys are comming from because I am not put into the situation that you are in. Allowing rifles may be a bad idea, but with my experiece, I don't see that it is.
