That is a strange law. The Ruger semi only holds 4 bullets. How do you spray with four bullets and a scope? I looked at the Ruger lever action (I never knew the model number) but decided to get the semi because it is similiar to the gun my child shoots now. I just sold a Winchester 94AE chambered in a 44 Mag. The gun had to many things to operate for my child, the trigger was terrible, and it was a nightmare getting bullets in and out of it. The Ruger lever action does not appear to have these problems. It does not look or feel like a typical lever action.
Good luck.
