Thread: Any one have there B-cat?

Although what you saying is right about concealment it isn't making a difference, They still give pistols to people with licence's whats stopping them hiding it? Opening to hunting is just making use of them, some people like hunting not just shooting paper. once again you seem to miss that people hunt with bows when rifles are far more better suited.Pistol hunting will just become another style of hunting. It is the person not the gun doing the damage. Don't blame tools for mans failure.

By allowing them to be used for hunting will just attract a lot of undesirable people wanting them to go blazing around after goats in the bush. There is no need for them in hunting when we have rifles, fact. It would also give people an excuse to be carrying a pistol in their vehicle or while deer stalking, "I was just going hunting".

By restricting them to range use it means if you are really passionate about them you can still go shoot with them.

Bows cannot hold 17 arrows and be fired on semi auto one handed, all while being able to be slipped into your waistline where no one can see it.

Semi auto pistols that hold 17 rounds are much more effective when fired with two hands.
The majority of pistols that end up slipped in an offenders waistline where no one can see are cut down 22lr rifles and shotguns.
And I would hope undesirable people would be vetted and unable to get a license in the first place.
Anyway this is all hypothetical. I'm referring to a "what if" situation with licensed and trained sportsmen.

+1 I don't see it as likely but maybe it could be something pistol shooters could work towards. I used a Browning Buckmark .22lr and a S&W 686 .357 once. Both were wickedly accurate when I had my shit together. Perfectly suitable for close range hunting. Would be less of a burden to carry too. Don't get me wrong I am a dyed in the wool rifle guy though. But they definatley hold merit as hunting arms.
