STATE LEGISLATION

Bills concerning the registration of handguns were introduced in Maryland, Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma. Various firearms purchase controls were introduced in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri and Ohio. Convenience legislation or legislation providing a device to assist game-law enforcement officers to apprehend violators of fish and game statutes were introduced in Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio and Vermont. Other bills dealt with prohibiting the discharge of firearms on Sunday; regulating or restricting the use of firearms by minors; sale of firearms and ammunition; and licensing of firearms dealers; to mention a few.

Legislation was enacted in Connecticut to permit members of rifle or gun clubs from out of state to participate in competition without the necessity of having a Connecticut license to carry handguns, if such persons are so licensed in their home state; in Montana to allow children under 14 years of age to engage in supervised marksmanship programs; in New York to recodify those sections of the State Penal Code referred to as the Sullivan Law; and in New Mexico to eliminate the obsolete and undesirable provisions of the old State Firearms Law.

Mr. Scort. You introduced your first bill in 1962, didn't you, Senator?

Chairman DODD. No, 1963.

Mr. SCOTT. My records show it was 1962.

Chairman DODD. Well, your records are wrong. It was in August of

1963.

Anyway, that year you spent $145,000 on legislative and public affairs. Even then you spent over $100,000, and I hadn't even got started.

Mr. SCOTT. Public affairs includes a lot of other things. It is no longer under that name.

Chairman DODD. It has a new name?

Mr. Scorт. My records show your original 11975, introduced Auggust 2, 1963. I make that correction. But I know it was talked about in 1962.

Chairman DODD. Well, I was talking about it then, I guess. Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Scott.

Mr. Scort. You are most welcome, and it is a pleasure to come here and talk with you, and if at any time I can be of help in facts or research, I shall be glad to do so. So do not hesitate to keep in communication on anything where I can be helpful.

Chairman DODD. Very well.
