The big $$$$ in Indianapolis is pushing this thru comitties so it will pass reguardless of what the common man has to say.
What group or person is the big money behind the proposed rule change?
I can see how some groups might be interested, like insurance companies, rifle manufactures, sporting good stores but I just don't see it being worth that much money to any particular group. Despite all the fanfare it may receive here, I suspect it is going to be several years before there are more rifles than shot guns or muzzle loaders out in the field and I don't believe the deer harvest will jump significantly just because rifles become easier to use.
It was bundled with a bunch of other changes so I thought it was just another DNR proposal.
I'm pretty simple and don't look for conspiracies though...
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Scott
