Official description

Amends the Wildlife Code. In provisions regarding deer hunting, limits legal handguns and rifles to centerfire revolvers, centerfire handguns capable of holding not more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined, and centerfire rifles capable of holding not more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined. Provides that, if a centerfire handgun or centerfire rifle is capable of holding more than 3 rounds, it must be fitted with a one-piece plug that is irremovable without dismantling the handgun or rifle, or it must be otherwise altered to render it incapable of holding more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined. Requires the Department of Natural Resources to adopt rules. In provisions regarding prohibitions, provides that it is unlawful while deer hunting to be in possession of or in close proximity to a magazine that is capable of holding more than 2 rounds (rather than capable of making a rifle not single shot) or to possess a handgun or rifle otherwise capable of holding more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined. Repeals the definition of "single shot".
