In short, it's because the state believes that if you hunt game with a rifle, it's going to make you want to hunt people with a rifle. They are absolutely terrified of anyone who owns a gun, regardless of the reason.

Could you link your sources about the second one? I haven't heard that one before.

Of course he can't. He's just making things up.

Its in here, its weird because if you go through the different pages is says different things in regards to handguns which is why I said I have conflicting info. Kind of typical for here it seems all the firearm laws are getting so complicated that its hard to follow them all lol

Got any recommendations on a good slug gun? All this came up bc i have the perfect spot on my property for a hide. right up on ridge over looking a clearing in the forest with a creek near by, but the shots probably 200-250 meters. I've never tried a shot like that with a shotgun and im crap with a bow lol

That’s gonna be very long for a shotgun. You’re looking at <100 yards with a 12 gauge slug. Sadly.

just go buy an 870 like everyone else does.
