MEMORANDUM

Posted: April 21, 2014 09:29 AM
From: Representative Gregory S. Lucas
To: All House members
Subject: Semiautomatic Rifles for Small Game
 
I will be introducing legislation amending the Pennsylvania Game Code to allow the use of semiautomatic rifles with a caliber of .223 or less and a cartridge capacity of not more than six, for the hunting of coyotes, foxes and woodchucks (groundhogs).

Currently under the Pennsylvania Game Code, it is unlawful to hunt any game or wildlife with a semiautomatic rifle, regardless of caliber. I believe this reasonable change in the law to allow such rifles with limited calibers and cartridge capacity would benefit landowners, livestock owners and hunters in the Commonwealth and I would appreciate your consideration and support by adding your name as a cosponsor.
