Thread: Would it be a bad idea to go hunting with my SKS this weekend?

I had been planning for weeks to go for a hunt this weekend with my SKS but recent events have thrown that up in the fucking air. Seems like the SKS is still in a grey area right now but it seems obvious they will be trying to ban it.

Should I just go for it or not?

the police issued video says its ok so i say go for it !

Is the hunting the most important part or using the SKS? Do you have a bolt gun that you could use instead?

It's unfortunate that one right wing fucktard has created the situation where this is even a question, but that's life.

Personally, I couldn't be bothered with the potential drama that hunting with a 'scary looking' gun could bring, but you may be different.

I have a .303 but its not sighted in and I only have FMJ for it. Not ideal but I suppose I could rustle it together in time if I have to.

It's actually my girlfriend that strongly insists I hunt with semi autos because she had a run in with a wild hog as a teenager, so now she is terrified I am going to get charged and gored by a hog while out hunting. She insists I be able to spray down a pig if I get charged at.

I hunt alone and I'm a tiny framed wee girl so it's a valid enough concern I guess, I'm not really in a physical state to macho wrestle a pissed off mama pig.

Highly doubt you're likely to encounter the forces of darkness fast-roping from unmarked helicopters just because you're wandering around the forest with an SKS...

Just worried some trail hiker or bird watcher or some shit will see me and call the fuzz.

Let them, be a waste of time as you won't be doing anything wrong (yet). Use it while you still can.

your one looks like one of those terrible assault rifles tho

I emailed my AO this exact question and she gave me the biggest non answer she possibly could. She has no idea.

Shit there is more on the dresser too.

Just paint the black one if you are concerned. A nice medium green.
