CONNECTICUT
In an effort to settle a dispute between two neighbors over a private
shooting range, Montville Mayor Joseph Jaskiewicz acknowledged in the
New London newspaper The Day that he is working with the town attorney
to draft a proposal to restrict shooting in Montville. The newspaper
characterized the Mayor's plan as an ordinance that would outlaw the
discharge of a firearm "within 500 feet of an occupied building, near
livestock, pets or people, or land designated as a nature preserve,
conservancy or town park." Despite attempts to view the proposed
language, NRA has thus far been denied the opportunity. But, as
described in the article, the proposal could only be interpreted as a
prohibition of most types of recreational shooting and would outlaw the
discharge of a firearm for personal protection. It is imperative that
NRA members contact Mayor Jaskiewicz at (860) 848-3030 Ext. 301, and
urge him to drop his proposal. The measure could be introduced to the
Town Council as early as August 14. Also be sure to contact your Town
Council members to ask them to oppose Mayor Jaskiewicz's anti-gun
proposal, please use the following link:

848-1349. Please keep checking your email and www.nraila.org/ for future

Town of Montville!
