Indiana Legalizes Deer Rifles

Indiana’s state legislature recently passed a law allowing the use of rifles for their upcoming deer season. House Enrolled Act 1231, authored by Rep. Lloyd Arnold, R-Leavenworth, and passed in January, allows some additional rifle cartridges to be used only on private land during the firearms season. The new legal cartridges include, but are not limited to, the .243 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, .300 AAC Blackout, and .30-06 Springfield. Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources recently offered more clarification on the new law. The Dubois County Herald has the story.
