I got this in an email from a close friend. I know that it just happened recently but not the exact date. Our primitive weapon season just ended, so 3 weeks ago tops. You can hunt with single shot 45-70s as long as they are of a design made in the late 1800s.
Ah ha! a single shot .45/70 ....just as I thought...sneaky little buggers...just as well I sold my S/S .45/70 a few months ago....my Siamese Mauser .45/70 would never have the bad manners to fall over and shoot me ! ...but then again I rarely lean rifles against things (safes excepted) and wouldn't leave a 'cracker' in the chamber in it anyway..
....doesn't some Murphy's Law apply here....something like...
'Law No. 34XX'
'If an object can...it will fall over and create as much damage as possible on the way down.....'
