Agreed. I don’t see any meaningful opposition on this one, either. When I testified at a House committee meeting last year on the bill, that didn’t make it to a final vote, the ballistics spoke the truth for me.

If you can already use these cartridges with a pistol, why not allow them with a rifle where they will be more accurate? More accurate shots are safer, and more humane, period!

One of my best friends is a DNR Officer and he personally sees this bill in the exact same way I do.

As for DNR Resources checking firearms, you can still check them with binoculars if you’re good with firearms. I would argue, most of these guys are. There aren’t tons of rifles that use straight walled cartridges.
