Yep, I can't name them off the top of my head, but several states ban .22 caliber center fires from hunting big game. I'm sure someone will chime in in a minute with specific states.
"States use a confusing variety of standards when writing firearm regulations for deer hunting. Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin indicate the minimum caliber hunters can use. But while Georgia, Michigan, North Dakota and Wisconsin all allow deer hunters to use a .223, states like Colorado, Iowa and Kansas do not. "
for a rifle to be legal in Nebraska the bullet has to have at least 900 ft-lb of energy at 100 yards. for a handgun it has to have at least 400 ft-lb of energy at 50 yards
The AR-15 is more popular than you'd think here in Alaska. I guess the general idea is to shoot the Caribou once and if it goes down, perfect. You've only used one round of ammunition (that's cheaper to start with and cheaper to have flown in). If you have to shoot it again, that's what the 30 round magazine is for.
Personally though, I'd use a more powerful round.
When folks from media outlets try to make the argument that AR's are not for hunting, they are really showing their ignorance. I know the OP originally asked about 5.56, but the AR really isn't a 5.56 rifle any more. It can be any caliber that you want with a change of the upper. Due to this, it's actually one of the best hunting rifles out there. Anything from varmints large game with a caliber change. Maybe that is the angle from which to approach that discussion. They try to frame the argument with the caliber type, but that's a flawed premise from the start.
Another issue that bears on this question and affects the use of an AR-15, is that of magazine capacity. Many states limit the number of rounds in the magazine irregardless of the type of firearm. Some states do not allow a centerfire rifle at all, and require the use of a shotgun.
