MEMORANDUM

Posted:	January 26, 2015 02:32 PM
From:	Representative Rick Saccone
To:	All House members
Subject:	Hunting with Semiautomatic Rifles, former HB 2333

In the near future I plan on introducing legislation that would amend Title 34 section 2308 Unlawful Devices and Methods to allow hunting with semi-automatic rifles in Pennsylvania. More specifically it would allow hunting with semi-automatic center fire rifles limited to a five shell capacity and .22 caliber semi-automatic rim fire rifles with a built in capacity limit. Currently, we are one of two states forbidding such hunting. Even Hawaii, California and New York allow hunting with semiautomatic rifles. Pennsylvania hunters have proven for decades that they are trustworthy, responsible and ethical stewards of Pennsylvania’s hunting/sporting heritage. It is time Pennsylvania joins the rest of America in allowing hunting in this regard. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
