    I have heard so many people complaining that they can't hunt with a high power rifle in Indiana. The only thing you can't hunt with a rifle is deer. You can legally hunt all fur bearers, coyote, fox, rabbit, squirrel, etc...with any legal rifle or ammo. I have heard rumors about them changing that for deer in the future too.

    I heard they were going to stop issuing Lifetime LTCH in Indiana.

    I've heard the Obama administration is going to outlaw all private firearms sales.

    I've heard alligator tastes like chicken.

    I've also heard there are still people that believe the earth is flat.


    They don't call them "rumors" for nothin'.

    obviously there are some out there that don't know they can hunt with a rifle, that is all I am saying

    Welcome to the gun culture, pops.

    Stick around and you'll hear all kinds of nonsense.

    Remember, gun guys talking about guns, or ammo, or laws or gun laws is like 8th graders talking about sex. No one really knows anything about it, but they saw a movie in 5th grade and an older cousin told them about it once.

    Feel free to use a .460 Weatherby Magnum on Chipmunks if you like. You can even use a .577 Nitro Express on Squirrels if that's part of your armament. But don't you dare try and use a 30-30 Winchester on Deer. I really don't care though as long as I can still use my M230 Chain Gun on Rabbits.

    I need to find some milsurp grenades for my Yugo SKS... then it would not only be good for flushing rabbits, I could take it fishing in small ponds! ;)

    got to have a permit for that one..
    IC 14-22-30-1
    Permit requirement
    Sec. 1. A person may not use, set, or discharge dynamite or other explosives in any of the waters of this state without having a permit from the director.
    As added by P.L.1-1995, SEC.15.

    Ummm, I used California when I was in 8th grade, not Canada.

    :laugh:

    In the gun culture, unlike 8th grade boys, you use "your friend/my third cousin the cop" or "one time when I was in the Army I done seen".:laugh:
