Council Rejects Gun Handgun Registration Recommendation
The Legislative Council voted against a handgun registration bill after earlier support. Sen. George Hayes and former Rep. Alan Chalmers favored the proposal while eight members urged further study. Chairman Leyland Wood noted opposition from Paul Atherton, president of the Vermont Sportsmen's Federation. The council kept five other committee suggestions, including using Fish and Game funds.
