It’s baaaccckkkk..Senate Bill 0261 Makes it a Class B Misdemeanor to hunt in a manner that results in a bullet, arrow, or another projectile passing within 200 yards of an inhabited residence without their permission. Also makes hunting/fishing without consent a Class B Misdemeanor (Instead of a Class C Misdemeanor) www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2006/IN/IN0261.1.html

One more reason I plan to move to Kentucky in the future!!!

I wonder if the sponsor this year is the same batty old broad who's introduced it all of the previous years that it's been shot down in flames ? There is currently no viable , or even cost effective alternative to hunting for game population control , which is why dipsheit legislation gets shot down as it should . Sure sounds like the same old stuff just recycled. Didn't she resign or retire or melt .. OHHHH , I'M MELTING.....!!!

Be careful guys. Some folks think this is just hunting within 200 yards of an inhabited residence.
It really says "....results in a bullet, arrow, or another projectile passing within 200 yards of an inhabited residence.
You could be much further away and still be in violation.
Bad bill..

What if....there's always a what if...the inhabited residence is on another property? Probably doesn't make a difference, but I just love when people tell me what I can/can't do on my own property.

Unfortunately there is no "what ifs" about it. We all know that will happen.. This bill will shut down a LOT of hunting..

Being a retired law enforcement officer, I would like to know how you prove in court a bullet passed within 200 yards OF A residence if the bullet is not found. maybe it passed within 201 yards?. Now if you are hunting within 200 yards ,maybe?

Does this include baseballs too? Why doesn't the state outlaw Fireworks sales in Indiana as they are illegal to begin with.

One of many reasons I feel the State of Indiana is anti-hunting & anti-gun.

The person who in years past carried this bill was Senator Antich-Carr (Senate District 4 D-Portage Area). She recently resigned her seat and was replaced by Karen Tallian.
Senator State Senator Connie Sipes (D-New Albany) is the new author for the bill this year.

I'm not surprised that this is coming from a New Albany based polititian , New Albany is a staunchly Democrat stronghold . I applied for work with their street dept. once , and the application actually asked if I supported the positions of the Democatic Party ! I lied and checked yes because when I asked the guy if it was a serious question he plainly stated that if I said otherwise I could forget getting the job(I still didn't) . They're as crooked as they come down there , the political machine is alive and well and it's a Democrat machine .

One of many reasons I feel the State of Indiana is anti-hunting & anti-gun. What ever, if the state was anti hunting, anti gun this bill would have passed the first time it was introduced. Just because one elected official proposes a bill doesn't make the entire state against guns or hunters!!!!

This, alone, has the State of Indiana leaning toward anti-gun legislation.

It happens every session and they will NEVER go away.Thankfully they are in a very samll minority, but they are true believers. If the state was truly anti-hunting and anti-gun then these bills would be accepted and voted in. So far everyone that I am aware of of has went in the round file.

I think I am so far. I haven't seen any Indiana anti-hunting or antigun legislation passed. BUT - You are right in that we have to remain diligent about this stuff. One could slip through if we let our guard down.
