Don't load the 243 YET.  This bill, just like all the BS that went on last year still needs to be signed by Gov Andrew Cuomo. 

Hopefully he doesn't get bit like Gov Patterson did and kick it back.

Gallivan passes bill permitting rifle hunting in Wyoming County

   

  Senator Patrick M. Gallivan passed his first piece of  authored legislation (S. 2385), a bill that will permit sportsmen to  use rifles when hunting deer or bear in Wyoming County. The bill passed  the Senate with near unanimous support.

"Hunting large game by  rifle is legally practiced across large portions of New York but has  not been available to sportsmen in Wyoming County," Gallivan said.  "This bill will rectify that, and at the same time bring economic  activity to Wyoming County and further the county's reputation as a  paradise for outdoor enthusiasts."

The taking of deer and bear  with a rifle is permitted in over 30 counties across New York State,  including in Cattaraugus County directly to the south of Wyoming County.

The  Senator explained that he was proud that his first piece of passed  legislation furthers the cause of sportsmen and enhances their rights,  "sportsmen are an important constituency in Wyoming County and across  New York. This bill, when signed into law, will allow Wyoming County  residents to rifle hunt closer to home, while attracting hunters from  surrounding areas into Wyoming County."

The chamber paused upon  official adoption of S. 2385 to congratulate the freshman legislator  for passing his first piece of legislation in the Senate.

Senator Gallivan's bill has a companion piece introduced in the Assembly by Assemblyman Dan Burling.
