In Minnesota, only people who are physically incapable of
shooting a rifle can legally hunt deer with a handgun.

Which reminds me, it is also illegal here to use a bow with any kind
of mechanical release mechanism.  Therefore crossbows are out under
bow rules.  What I don't understand is why it's not legal to use a
crossbow under firearm rules.  It seems like a strange situation to
me.
