    ...now to convince DNR that allowing "normal" modern centerfire rifles for whitetail deer won't cause mass casualties among hunters non-hunters alike...

    Ok, so the wording of this bill confuses me. Does this bill allow for the average Joe to go purchase a suppressor for hunting? Or is it those with their NFA stamps are the ones who can use the suppressors?


    Since federal regulations require that suppressors and all other NFA (machineguns, DD's, SBR's and SBS's, AOW's) be registered it follows that in order to possess a suppressor for hunting in Indiana it has to be registered. You aren't buying a stamp for the privilege of owning a suppressor, you are paying a tax for the transfer and registration. The stamp is evidence of the tax being paid and is placed on the form showing who the registered owner is. That would be a form 1 if you made it or a form 4 if you bought it.
    So to answer your question, if you want to hunt in indiana with a suppressor it must be registered to you. That means a 6 month or so wait if you buy one from here in Indiana. Probably add a month or two if you buy it from out of state.

    Hope that helps

    Since it lists the due date as tomorrow (Saturday), does that mean if he doesn't veto it tomorrow, it will automatically bypass him and become law?

    Well, not to fustigate over a picayune matter, but it does not bypass the Gov. It is just that there is no pocket veto in Indiana as per the Indiana Constitution.

    I still don't understand anything that fancy pants Kirk said, but looks like he signed the bill today! Governor Pence: 2013 Bill Watch

    BTW You worked at Galyan's with those fancy words? I figured Pat would have taken you to the stone totem and given you an empty plastic water bottle, piece of glass and a twig and convinced you we don't talk like that around here.
