Was this city by any chance Kennesaw GA? They had such a law as of 1985, it must have been passed some time earlier. Excerpt from "L.D. Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I "live in a free country"; that country passed a law which made my 80 > year old mother a felon -- because she still had the semi-automatic > .22 cal rifle I used to hunt rabbits to feed us many years ago, and it > was capable of holding more than 20 rounds of ".22 shorts." Hunting laws in many places would prohibit use of semi-automatic rifles. Hunters need to read the game laws carefully.
