The UVM 4-H Shooting Sports Program has its mobile air rifle range at the Rutland Fair.

This is not the UVM Sports Shooting Club, which are UVM students. 

 

The UVM 4-H Shooting Sports Program has many youngsters participating in the program. 

The exhibit at the Rutland Fair is staffed by folks from the Bennington County, Pownal Valley,

4-H Sharp Shooters.

 

The side of the mobile air rifle range exhibits the logos of the organizations that funded the

purchase of this very nice mobile air rifle range.  The top one is the Friends of the NRA,

below that is the National Wild Turkey Federation and Federal Ammunition.

(there may be another one further below, very hard to discern)

BTV City Council's Ban on guns in bars, unconstitutional

                                          "Gun Owners Not Wanted Here"

 

A federal court has held a less restrictive ordinance in Baton Rouge, LA to be unconstitutional.

 

The Burlington City Council put it on the ballot, having told the public that it was only about guns in bars.

The Burlington City Council wants to be able to arrest honest citizens for having an unloaded, firearm

locked in the trunk of a vehicle in a parking lot of a business with a first class liquor license.  90 days

imprisonment, loss of their firearms.  Even if the parking lot was jointly used by other businesses.

But, it was more than parking lots.  A Burlington motel/hotel with a first class liquor license was off limits

to those with a firearm for use hunting or a shooting match at an area range.  No having their guns in their

room nor in  the parking lot. Off-duty law enforcement were not exempt from this outrageous ballot item.

 

Repeatedly told it was unconstitutional, the Burlington City Council marched forward to trample gun rights.

 

Why would any gun owner want to travel into a town where the city council holds them in such contempt?
