What states?

What boggles my mind is that NY didn't allow rifles in central NY for the longest time (very rural) and has always allowed rifles in the Hudson Valley area. the Hudson Valley region has always been more populated then central NY, and in recent years has become filled up with people (mostly yuppies from the city). I was reading an article in one of the NRA mags and they did a study to see if shotguns were actually safer than rifles. They found that on deflections a shotgun slug actually traveled farther than a rifle round.

Maryland allows centerfire rifles in the western counties. All counties in central and eastern Maryland are shotgun/muzzleloader only.
