This is as bad, if not worse, than microstamping.

Default Pennsylvania wants 'encoded ammunition'

It seems to be a growing concern. I am not sure where this issue stands in Maryland, I know it was recently in the news there, but here is a link to the effort in Harrisburg;

http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/...r=2228&pn=3188

There was discussion on the forum regarding the rising cost of ammo http://www.pafoa.org/forum/ammunitio...iced-ammo.html
but I feel that the added cost may not be the only concern, there may be deeper implications should this become law.

Note the time limit imposed for disposing of non-encoded ammo...

"....Section 302. Duty of owner to dispose of ammunition.
6 On or before January 1, 2010, an owner of ammunition for use
7 in a regulated firearm that is not encoded by the manufacturer
8 in accordance with section 301 shall dispose of the ammunition."

Edit: looks like coat4gun beat me to this story.

What is "encoding"? Any similarity to microstamping?

Are these politicians daft?

edit spelling

Thanks for the heads up. I guess it is time to email or call tech House Judiciary members and express our opinions for this proposed House Bill 2228.
