Attn New York State deer Hunters

[dodgestdshift]

The State Senate and Assembly has passed and sent to Gov. Patacki a bill which would allow the use of rifles in the hunting of deer during the firearms season in some of the counties of the Southern zone(western part of the state). Seems to be the southern tier counties that border on Pennsylvania (EXCLUDING CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY). The votes in favor of the bill were sizeable, but I don't know what the governor will or did do.

he's been sitting on it long enough--just sign the damn thing! Pataki is no friend to hunters and gun owners--he's been more antigun that cuomo was.

Pataki is a useless wart. If he even gets to signign this bill, it would be teh first remotley pro-hunter/gun thing that windbag has ever done.

Hell even Chuck Schumer would sign that bill.
