Since early March GOAL's bill, H.4552 "An Act Protecting the Rights of Target Shooters", has been awaiting a vote in the State Senate. The bill is currently in its third reading phase, which is normally the last big hurdle in the legislature before it goes before the Governor. It is our hope that this law will be in place before the summer target shooting season. With your help, we can make that happen.
Please contact your state Senator and ask them to pass H.4552 with no amendments as soon as possible. Ask them to follow through with this reform effort. Your call could make the difference!!
We must save the single action revolver piece of this as it is in danger of not passing
Summary of H.4552 "An Act Protecting the Rights of Target Shooters"

· It would exempt certain “Single Action Revolvers” from the testing requirements in Section 123 of Chapter 140.
· It would exempt precision target handguns, “any firearm solely designed and sold specifically for formal target shooting competition”, from the testing requirements in Section 123 of Chapter 140.
