Often when purchasing a hunting license it is pointed out that only certain weapons are allowed to be used. An extreme example would be bow season for hunting deer. A finer example would be the use of steel vs. lead shot for hunting birds. If memory serves, 20 years ago a .454 pistol was legal for hunting bear in Virginia. Believe a .357 magnum and larger was allowed. The argument that a certain weapon "is only good for human targets" is lame and ignorant. A pistol of .380 calibre (for the ignorant, a .380 is smaller than a .357) or larger would be just right for stopping an attacking dog, such as a pit bull. Of course some wish to outlaw pit bulls too. I still believe computers are more dangerous. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
