Hi Adam....
Here is the post I made earlier
"If I missed reading one of your posts in this thread, I apologize... I didn't see it. I don't like being MISCHARACTERIZED either."
From a previous post.. just like yours Adam... and Waffle... I don't ever waffle.
Further.. I stick to facts.. and the facts that I post are readily available to anyone because I cite the authorities or link to them.
As to the crossbow question Adam... Its not that I don't ascribe to the definition, its that the NBEF and IHEA don't ascribe to the definition. Can't you get that yet. It's not up to me.
The PA game commission and the game commissions of a lot of other states don't AGREE WITH YOU or your characterization of a crossbow being a bow... Those states that do allow crossbows... and there are a lot of them...
crossbow seasons will indicate that crossbows just are not considered bows... but many states will allow them in general or other firearms seasons, like muzzleloader. This is typical, not extraordinary. I'm trying to get crossbows legal here in Hawaii in any manner, so far they are ONLY legal for disabled.. and if it means we get it in muzzleloader or general firearms... Hallelujah.. its a start.
