NY has had similar oddball things in their past, but has got MOST of them straightened out. The typical reason for rifles not being allowed is because of their extended range and the possibility of ricochets, misses or overpenetration causing problems. Typically shotguns and pistols have a shorter range due to their using larger projectiles at lower velocities. A pistol that shoots a rifle cartridge can turn that on its head, as can a rifle that shoots a pistol cartridge. The T/C Contender, Savage Striker, and Remington XP-100 are all pistols that shoot rifle cartridges--in the case of the Contender, often very powerful rifle cartridges--but in NY they're all legal in shotgun-only zones as, presumably, they're not all that common and they are still only typically used at fairly short ranges and for reasonably "sure" shots. I've never heard of a case in NY of this causing a problem, though the potential is there. On the flip side, there are plenty of rifles that shoot pistol cartridges, typically the .357 magnum, .44 magnum, and .45 Long Colt. The theory there is that the longer barrel increases velocity enough to make these cartridges a threat to ricochet or overpenetrate. Again, it may or may not be the case, but you've got to draw the line somewhere.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
