It Might Be Worth Checking Your State Hunting Regs If memory serves, there are jurisdictions that prohibit taking deer with the .223 cartridge, so I'd recommend perusing your state hunting regulations before you invest in either an AR or a Mini-14. In my neck of the woods (Upstate NY), most...

As HardKnox said, The reason you didn't hear about it is because it is not a law yet. According to the bill summary, it passed the Assembly in April and was referred to the Senate. I did a little hunting around and it seems that a similar bill that was introduced in the Senate never went...

My experience in Cayuga County I got my CCW permit yesterday after a wait of about 13 weeks (I live in Auburn and went through APD at the end of May). I don't know what your experience was in the end, but I'm sure Florida was probably quicker. Oh, and for the record I had lived in the county...
