And judging from the poll results so far, the vast majority of the forum members do not agree with your opinion.[/QUOTE]

Your statement like that shows how you live in such a small world. The fact that only 50% favor unrestricted hunting with hand guns and a significant number of people don't want any hunting with hand guns should tell you something. This form is a very very small very pro-gun sample of the population so to make a statement like you did just shows how small you think. To use the form results to make your case is just silly, about all you can tell from the form results is that grouse are fairly safe from hand guns or at least anyone wanting only to hunt them with one.
The point was well made that to make hunting with hand guns legal would take some major changes in laws and that when you start changing laws for no good reason you may not like what you end up with. Other than "wouldn't it be fun to try" no one has put forth a compelling argument for the change to the law. If hand gun hunting was the status quo then some of your argument just might have validity in keeping it, but its not and if you look at the big picture it is probably best it stay the way it is.
