The only explanation for jamming from one side only is the feed ramp on that side. You could file it down some but being a factory built AR, I would send it back and let ruger deal with it.

It's OK to be a MODERATE...despite what the media says! I dont know that I would say im a moderate, but I disagree with a lot on both sides. Im certainly far far far right on 2nd Amendment issues. Take taxes for instance. Im not sold that trickle down economics works, but I know punishing the rich isnt the right answer either. Does that make me a moderate? Or a traitor to the Republican party for not toeing their political line?

SB 245 reads as though a person may not prohibit someone known to be a LEO from carrying on the premises.
Not as written here.

Also, when going thru the data for the centerfire rifle injuries, there are injuries/deaths that are intentional that I believe are counted in the stats. The following incident would be murder, not a hunting accident. I was hunting in Wisconsin in Vilas County at the time that this happened, not 50 miles from where it happened. www.thoughtco.com/six-killed-in-wisconsin-hunting-incident-972787I know there was one person that died during the 2019 Wisconsin Deer Hunting Season that died of natural causes. Nov. 23, 2019. He collapsed and died as he was preparing to field dress his deer. Im trying to stick strictly to data published by the state DNR or in some cases ive found where someone else has sorted the data and properly sourced it. Illinois is the only state ive come across up to now that publishes those deaths. I could sort through articles, but I just dont have the time.

Im currently going through injury reports from various states that allow centerfire rifles for deer hunting. This is pretty damning data for the "its not safe" crowd. You should have seen all the shotgun slug injuries I researched when Indiana was first talking about legalizing HPR's for deer. The big question is: How many of those injuries that you've found were accidents that would not have happened had they been slug guns? All that matters to Indiana is that there hasn't been a single incident of someone being shot by a deer hunter with a rifle in Indiana since they were legalized. And I'm not aware of any property damage caused by them either. There was the time a building was hit and initial blame was laid on a hunter until it was proven to be someone target shooting. Its a little hard to say anything definitive right now, im having some difficulty finding injury data for some states and every state reports different data. I can confidently say that deer drives are more dangerous than rifles (excluding the point that rifles are used in deer drives, but rifles are not the causation). A hunter is more likely to suffer a self inflicted GSW than be shot by another hunter. In the state of Illinois you are more likely to die of natural causes while hunting than to be shot by another hunter. So far I can only find 2 instances with known distance (605 and 467 yds, in the state of Wisconsin) where someone was injured with a rifle at a distance a slug was unlikely, but did find one instance in Illinois (not an hpr state) where a hunter was killed by a 12 gauge slug at over 400 yards. Wisonsin did begin publishing private and public property info a few years ago and it appears youre more likely to be injured wtlith a firearm on private land. Which I find interesting as Wisconsin has 13.7 hunters per sq mile density versus Indianas 10.8, unable to differentiate hunter density on public versus private so that data is states as a whole.

When checking that data,also check how much Hunter Orange is required also! Please report your findings on all fronts BTW...the length of the season would be interesting also! Ill do my best, a lot of info to go through.

The fit don't look perfect but it's not that bad. Its far from perfect, this is the "large" skull and the base of the antlers is nearly twice the size of the fake pedicles. I may trim those down still.

Not bad, still dont know how I feel about not having the real skull. After this pic, I took the antlers back off and painted the skull flat white.

I tend to buy a lot of stuff, but its because Im in a neverending search for what is best for me. Yeah it costs money, but comfort is priceless. Im adding and subtracting pieces of clothing yearly trying to get it just right. Most of the other stuff I no longer bother with (scent covers, attractants, etc), and I certainly have enough guns to choose from.

Don't laugh at me, but I've never taken the opportunity to shed hunt. I guess if your hunting public ground it might be a wise idea to do so. I reckon it would give a feller some sort of idea what's moving around and a possible size reference. Just remember, where a buck sheds in february or march, doesnt necessarily mean thats where he will be in october. Some poor guy learned that lesson the hard way this year, he didnt see that buck a single time. We saw him 3 or 4 times spending his daylight hours a mile from where he shed

When we coyote hunt we will often purposely try to call in coons.
This year for every 3 pics of deer I got a pic of a coon. Gonna hit them hard this year and next.

Anything could happen, but I dont think it is the answer. We need a franchise QB, and a winning season next year doesnt help with that.

My plan is to soak some steel wool in permethrin and put it into the holes, then glue a dowl in place.
Next step will be to spray the underside of my shed with an oil and diesel mixture.
I probably killed 400 last year.

I'm not much of a writer, but anyone feel free to copy and paste, or edit to your needs, unless youre planning on lobbying against legalization on public land. Then you dont have my permission lol
Mr. Eberhart
With the Indiana Hunting Rifle law sunsetting, I expect that will become petmanent law in short order.
Now that there is data to support legalized rifle calibers do not increase hunting/firearm related injury or death. I propose we see the law amended to include public land for reasons stated below.
1. Shotguns are currently legal for hunting deer on any land. It is well known in the firearms community that due to the mass of a shotgun slug, that with all things being equal, a ricochet of a shotgun slug can travel further than a 30-06, one of the most popular rifle calibers in America.
2. There are currently no caliber restrictions to hunt Coyotes on any land in Indiana. This type of hunting is done day or night with high powered rifles, with no documented increase in firearms related injuries.
3. Pistol Caliber rifles are legal on public land, with many of these rifles capable of a 300 yard effective range on game, not unlike many of the high powered rifles.
These pistol caliber rifles also create mass confusion with case measurement requirements, legalization of HPR's on all Indiana lands will remove a majority of confusion with state game laws.
4. Legalization of HPR's on private ground made them available for hunting in Indiana Reduction Zones. Reduction Zones are typically in close proximity to residential areas, again with no noted increase in personal or property damage or injury. Indiana's public lands are typically well removed from heavily populated residential areas.
I thank you for your time, and while I feel Indiana's game laws are best left to the oversight of DNR, legislation is in place that can make this a quick resolution. I hope youre colleagues can approach this topic with an open mind and an understanding that opinion and fact are not always equal, and the fact remains that no state that has enacted legalization of high powered rifles on public lands has seen an increase of firearms related injury or death.

I hear ya man. There are hundreds of acres of untouched Alcoa ground out here on the eastern edge of the Warrick reduction zone. Yep.. My backyard is in the “deer reduction zone”. i.imgur.com/DAReHWZ.mp4Mine too, ive also got permission on the power line cut and the woods on the south corner of sharon, caddy corner to the peckas, but ive never hunted it.

Thanks defleck. I was gonna be done last week, but I just couldn't give up. That doe wasn't the doe I was targeting, but I'm going to put up more cameras but I'm switching to cell cameras so I can cut down traffic and putting down scent going to check them. As for my interest in the reduction zone, I live in Spencer County and I don't mind driving to chase whitetail. I got on the OnX Hunt app and there's not a lot of options without obtaining permission for private ground. I don't mind knocking on doors, but anymore it's hard to find folks that let you hunt. I hear ya man. There are hundreds of acres of untouched Alcoa ground out here on the eastern edge of the Warrick reduction zone.

I hunted in Brown County twice last year in September and got hassled both times by guys that didn't know the regs. Each time guys parked and came in looking for me, one even called DNR. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle and didn't hunt it this year. I didn't check this year, but I thought that zone was still considered reduction this year. I edited to reflect SW portion of the state. I believe the he is in Perry County so he would be referring to Warrick or Vanderburgh, in which case the local public areas are not in the reduction zone.
