storage — the first one. But I'll go through this list real quickly. Just stop me <br />if there's any additional questions. On your tracking sheet — there's the <br />links for all the bills so if you want to read the wording in it — just click on <br />that link which is right here... OK. <br />First off we have HB 31— Firearms Stores: This one we're not really <br />opposed to — basically it changes the age from 16 to 18 where you have to <br />securely instore your firearm in your home — if you don't give your children <br />permission to touch them — if you do give your permission to your kids to <br />handle your firearms when you're not there this doesn't apply — like if they <br />want to go hunting or firearm shooting in the back — stuff like that. Major <br />issue I have with firearms storage is — law is — the current penalty right now <br />— it is a Class C felony if you leave your firearms in your home unsecured <br />and you don't give your kids permission to touch them — so, it's a little <br />harsh — maybe it should be a petty misdemeanor but that's current law <br />right now. <br />HB 251 — .50 caliber — this could affect some hunters — mainly like the big <br />game safari hunters — but also if you hunt with a revolver too. This bill <br />basically says any firearm that can shoot a .50 Cal half-inch or larger bullet — <br />so that would be like the Safari Rifle if you shoot bison and, you know, big <br />game — stuff like that. Five hundred Smith & Weston revolvers — that would <br />be banned under this law. So, we have to get this — the primary reason for <br />having this ban is — for. 50 Campbell BMG rifles like in the military — they're <br />afraid you can shoot down an airplane or snipe a person, two miles away <br />which isn't realistic and usually they're not an issue in the US — no one's <br />been killed by one of these things here — so at the very least if you want to <br />oppose this law or just exclude hunting rifles and, revolvers and things like <br />that. <br />BL: Quick question — Brian — District 4 — did they change the wording on it <br />cause the last I heard the .50 Cal and above would outlaw any 410 or <br />above, I mean, anything above a 410 so... Twenty gage, 12 -gauge shotguns <br />would be illegal under this and I own a .50 caliber muzzle loader — are they <br />taking muzzle loaders out of this equation? <br />TY: They did take it out. It went through one committee in the senate and they <br />stripped out shotguns and muzzle loaders. Yeah, in the past it was anything <br />25 <br />
