[Yesterday] morning, the Vermont State Senate passed an amended version of S. 281 \u2013 legislation that includes a provision to make The Green Mountain State the 41st state to allow the use of suppressors while hunting. The suppressor hunting language, which was championed by Representatives Pat Brennan (R-Chittenden-9-2) and George Till (D-Chittenden-3), was added to S. 281 during the floor debate in the House of Representatives and subsequently passed on May 10th. The bill now heads to Governor Phil Scott (R-VT) for his signature. Once enacted, the new law will take effect on July 1st.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my pleasure to announce that with today\u2019s passage of S. 281, the legislature has taken a tremendous step forward towards expanding the right of hunters to use suppressors in the field,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Rep. Brennan, Co-Chair of the Vermont Legislative Sportsmen\u2019s Caucus.\u00a0\u201cFor the past seven years, law abiding citizens in Vermont have enjoyed suppressor ownership, but their use has been restricted to sport shooting at ranges only. With the passage of S. 281, Vermont outdoorsmen and women finally have the ability to protect their hearing and the hearing of the youth hunting community as well. This bill was a long time in the works, but it has finally come to fruition thanks to the cooperation of many, most especially the Department of Fish and Wildlife and its Commissioner.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The American Suppressor Association has been fighting for suppressor rights in Vermont for a decade. Over the years we have helped draft legislation, provided written and verbal testimony, and hosted multiple live-fire suppressor demonstrations for legislators, law enforcement officers, and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. In 2015, legislation introduced by Rep. Brennan legalized the ownership of suppressors in the state, but not their use in the field. Today\u2019s passage of S. 281 brings us one step closer to full suppressor legalization nationwide.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat Representatives Brennan and Till have accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association.\u00a0\u201cIt highlights the value of hard work, persistence, and bipartisanship. There should be nothing controversial about protecting hearing. We could not have asked for better partners in the fight for your suppressor rights.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
