Re: Why cant you use a semi auto(rifle) in PA?
See I wish someone like you would have given me ideas I could have mentioned that one about the game lands..like I said this was years ago and the kid asking the other day after seeing the AR hunting got me back on this track lol. Thats a good idea though...And like you said a bunch of(for me as this is the only state ive liven in like this so dont take offense) to me old and outdated stuff like the Liquor stuff is trying to be changed also so maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

Re: Why cant you use a semi auto(rifle) in PA?
It is not a burning question with the great majority of licensed hunters so the legislature is feeling no sense of issue and therefore it's not likely to happen any time soon, if ever. I would not get too worked up about it. A friend who is a State House member and a life long deer hunter has indicated that this issue is not on anybody's radar in Harrisburg. The reality is that there are many more pressing issues and too little time to address them.

Re: Why cant you use a semi auto(rifle) in PA?
I spoke to a WCO regarding this issue about a month ago. Given the example of hunting squirrels with a Ruger 10/22, he said it was "unsportsmanlike" to hunt with an auto loader because "the squirrel wouldn't have a chance." Ridiculous.

In summary, it can be boiled down to ignorance, apathy, superstition, misinformation, and stupidity.

Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion, without the discomfort of thought.

Re: Why cant you use a semi auto(rifle) in PA?
See this is the LAME types of excuses I keep getting and what made me so mad..kept getting crap like that and "tradition" BOTH are really cop outs IMO. I get/got as many Squirrels here in PA with a bolt action as I got in NY with my semi auto years ago. Id have told him he is full of crap lol.

Re: Why cant you use a semi auto(rifle) in PA?
It does not really matter what any WCO says. That's like taking it to football officials because you don't like the rules. It's a legislative issue. Get to know your legislators. I know mine and when I call, they take my call. But I don't bend their ear about non-issues.
