Arizona Governor signs pro-gun hunting bill

[spin]

72. I remember when I first moved to Florida many years ago ...

I was talking to a hunter who had an incident involving another hunter with a high capacity magazine. My friend and his buddy were on one side of a clearing when a deer walked into it. Just as they were aiming their rifles, a hunter on the opposite side of the clearing shot at the deer and missed. The deer ran and the hunter who first shot at him fired 29 additional rounds. My friend and his buddy were busy attempting to find cover as they were "downrange".

Several years later, Florida limited magazine capacity while hunting.

I have never participated in hunting, but in talking to hunters I have learned that if you carefully aim and miss your first shot, your chances of hitting the game on follow up shots go down hill rapidly. I feel a follow up shot might be useful if you wounded the animal but any more than 5 rounds in a magazine are basically useless.

Even if you were hunting an enormous feral hog and you failed to bring him down with your first shot and instead merely pissed him off, you would have four additional rounds to stop him before he reached you and tore your leg up with his razor sharp tusks. Any more than that would probably be useless as you would probably find yourself up a tree with your rifle on the ground. That's why it might be a damn good idea to carry a large caliber revolver in a holster on your belt when hunting hog.

As I have said, I am not a hunter. When I talk about the subject, I am like a person who has no knowledge about firearms and the gun culture talking about gun control. If you are a hunter, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
