Let's hear them.
Colorado has a big game handgun law that says barrel length needs to be at least 4" with a min. energy level at 50 yards of 550 ft.lbs - as rate by the manufacture (which could be you). So who actually measures velocity at 50 yards, which can be used to determine energy? Maybe I've missed it as I reload most of my own, but I've never seen a pistol cartridge box from a manufacturer that says velocity or energy at 50 yards - if they say anything it's muzzle velocity. I guess I could put a chrono up at 50 yards, but seems so stupid when they could say 575 ft.lbs. at the muzzle or something like that. And what's with the min. barrel length? Either the gun has the energy required or it doesn't. Who cares if the bullet came out of a 3.5" barrel? It's not a concealed gun thing either as CO state law specifically allows concealed carry during hunting season even without a permit.

You can carry any pistol during bow season without a concealed carry permit. Just can't use it for taking big game.

Thanks
I won’t say that wyoming’s Are dumb but you better have a full understanding of all of it, particularly the gmu #’s and the requirements for each that you intend to hunt for the intended species. It can get complex compared to, say, Colorado’s.

Oregon used to have to get a handgun stamp to hunt deer. If you used a rifle instead of you handgun you were poaching.
If you shoot a deer in the head with a handgun as a finisher, you are a poacher.

I’m an old school Presbyterian and I think that’s stupid. Used to be like that in Va. But they finally got their heads out and did away with it . The season that was started a few years ago , not sure of the duration , but June is part of a summertime squerril season . Who the hell wants to shoot a mess of squerril in the summer . Nearest I can figure they have put them in the gopher class . seems like a waste of good vittles to me . Kenneth

I’m an old school Presbyterian and I think that’s stupid. VA lets us Sunday hunt on private land now, with written permission. Screws us that hunt public land and have no private land to hunt. Also, I have never got a yes or no question on whether I will get a ticket for quartering a deer and carrying it out in my pack. Half says no, half says yes. Main guy in Richmond says it depends and my answer is in the game law book. Don’t understand why you can only crow hunt certain days of the week either.

No Sunday hunting is about the dumbest PoS law I've ever heard of. Just remember that hunting and gun laws are made by people who have no clue as to what they're talking about.

Actually they do know what they’re talking about and doing but state legislators make these override laws in spite of what the game folks say and recommend. Maybe that’s what you were talking about?

I don't understand Wyoming law that you buy a hunting license, then you have to buy a game stamp. Why not include the stamp with license, so nobody forgets in??? Or is that the intention?

I’m an old school Presbyterian and I think that’s stupid. If it ever came to a vote, I am against change. I would support reestablishing the "Blue" laws.
