Metzgar Co-Sponsored Legislation Allowing Semi-Automatic and Air Rifles on Way to Governor for Signature
HARRISBURG --
House Bill 263, co-sponsored by Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar (R-Somerset/Bedford), passed the House and is on its way to Gov. Tom Wolf’s desk. The bill permits the Pennsylvania Game Commission to allow the use of semi-automatic rifles and air/gas powered rifles for hunting.
“This is another great way for Pennsylvanians to enjoy the sport of hunting and I am proud to be a part of it. Auto-loading rifles are a top selling firearm platform in this country and our laws need to embrace that technology and popularity,” said Metzgar.
