CVA’s Electra A Damp Squib for Florida’s Upcoming Primitive Firearm Season
What appears to be the first state of I’m sure will be a few, Florida has ruled that the Electra does not meet the definition for use during the primitive firearm season. As reported on here a few weeks back the Electra uses a electronic spark to ignite the powder much like a spark plug in an internal combustion engine.
“In particular, the CVA Electra is a new muzzleloader on the market that doesn’t qualify as a state-defined muzzleloader,” said Capt. John Miller of FWC’s Division of Law Enforcement. “It is not a legal weapon for muzzleloader season because it uses an electronic ignition, fired by a battery.”
The legal types of guns for use during the muzzleloading gun season use black powder or a non-nitro-cellulose substitute and are fired by wheel lock, flintlock or percussion cap ignition. They are not adaptable to use of any self-contained cartridge ammunition.
The CVA Electra muzzleloader is legal to use during general gun season, however.
This new ignition method has not excited me since I first heard about it. I wonder where one draws the line on technology and primitive weapon season? It appears that Florida has drawn that line and it will be interesting to see what other states do.
