Any reason he couldn't use a bow?

Any reason he couldn't use a bow

Or a pointed stick?

[NormsRevenge]

I was thinking more like a long pointed stick.. but that would work too.

PETA would probably sue tho as both an arrow or stick would likely be seen as inhumane. That's why the cavemen are gone, yaknow. ;-)

Marshall was convicted in May 2002 of writing a bad check.

Egads. I may have written a rubber check or two when I was going to college in Montana. Little did I know.

It was a Monty Python joke.

Which college?

MSU

No problem, he can always use a compound bow and still not violate his probation. This is another reason I think felons should be catgorized as to the type of felon someone is convicted of. A bad check writer could have a valid reason or excuse, such as writing a check against the deposit of another check received that was not good. No reason to deprive that person from firearm ownwership.

Why aren't these licenses first offered to Montana veterans
returning home from two or three tours in Iraq or Afghanistan

I am sure a few of Montana's disabled veterans or newly returned combat vets might want a shot at those licenses..

Which the state should provide gratis...

imo

[dubie]

bows and muzzle loaders are not considered firearms...

Well howdy fellow alumn from "Moo-U, the udder university."

Wow, a bison hunt! Can you imagine free meat for a year!

Makes my mouth water for some buffalo. Problem is that the only restaurant around here serving it belongs to Ted Turner. Decisions, decisions.

Earth Sciences 78-83, married student housing. Did you have a view of the beached whales?

Okay,

This guy wrote a bad check. While I don't condon writing a bad check I think it stinks that the AP wrote this story to start with.

My opinion is the AP writer is opposed to Montana's bison hunt to start with, and used this guy to make it look like a bad thing, where convicted felons will be hunting it.

This is SO OBVIOUS.

Yep. My first year 82-83 I was on that side of the building, could see all of Roskie Beach from my room. Kept dark sunglasses handy for the cetacean glare coming off that lawn in the Spring. Loved that view of the Spanish Peaks and the weekend ballooners.

ROTFL! Last time I was around the old campus you'd hardly recongnize it, really built up. Real pretty country with the mountains. Heading to MT for Thanksgiving and may drive by after spending some time at Bozeman Hotsprings.

Neither are any firearms made prior to 1898, including modern bolt action rifles and i believe handguns.

Had a little discussion here about five years ago about the same thing.http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a4acd4a331e.htm
