I just read where House Bill 2384 has been proposed to allow inlines during the PA flintlock season. If you, like myself, are opposed to this, please take a minute and let your representatives know how you feel. For those of you that don't want to compose a letter, I've attached mine below. Please feel free to use it.
Gentlemen,
I understand that Representative Tina Pickett has introduced HB 2384 that would allow the use of inline muzzleloaders during Pennsylvania's late "flintlock" season. She says she's doing this on behalf of a constituent. I'd rather doubt that Rep. Pickett even knows the difference between an inline muzzleloader and a flintlock rifle. Rep. Pickett needs to inform her constituent that there is already a week in October devoted to deer hunting with inline muzzleloaders.
Pennsylvania is the ONLY state to have a primitive weapons season entirely devoted to muzzleloading rifles that have a flintlock ignition system. Members of the flintlock hunting community see this as the first "foot in the door" to allow all types of firearms during our primitive rifle season. I know that I'm not alone in recommending that each of you do whatever is necessary to defeat this bill. Please help keep Pennsylvania's primitive hunting season just that...PRIMITIVE. Thanks.
So Google a few of the lawmakers in your area and make sure they get the word about this bill.
