Another Buckeye

Post by Warden1054 » Thu Jan 18, 2018 7:37 pm

Another Ohio Henry fan. I love lever guns, and own 5 Winchesters, a Marlin and 3 Henrys. (if you won the "when will we hit 500" you're welcome :D ) I am former competition shooter and father to two more. My son set a national record in air rifle in high school, two years later his sister tied it and was considered a national record holder as well. My boy also lettered in rifle all four years at The Ohio State University, and has won 2 state championships in service rifle in North Carolina. Enough about them...I am a law enforcement officer, hunter and fisherman. Not supposed to discuss work on-line, but I was heavily involved with the addition of rifles to deer hunting in Ohio too.

That's likely enough for now.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Howdy from a fellow Buckeye.
I don't hunt deer but why only straight wall cartridges?

There was a lot of work done on that regulation, especially by the Buckeye Firearms Regulation. It took a few years to get it done. There was a lot of worry about the perceived "high power" rifles being too dangerous. But straight walled cartridge handguns were already allowed, so it was a logical move to allow the straight walled rifles. In addition, it was easy to transition to a simple definition of "straight wall, 357 to 50 caliber" instead of listing specific cartridges or calibers. The goal was to have a law that was easy to understand and enforce. Easy for the public, officers, judges and juries to understand. Not everyone is a firearms expert....
