From Bob Crook:

Today the State Senate PASSED Amendment “B” to S.B. No. 207 (RAISED) ENVIRONMENT. 'AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE HUNTING OF DEER BY PISTOL OR REVOLVER', which Establishes a credit to those who purchased a license, permit or tag between October 1, 2009, and April 14, 2010, to be applied against the fee for any such license, permit or tag purchased by such person on and after October 1, 2010. The vote on Amendment “B”, License Credit, was 34-0. The bill passed with Amendment “A”, removing the word “Pistol”, and “B” on a vote of 25-9. The bill now moves to the House for debate.

It appears there is also significant support in the House. E-mail, and Write, and Phone Call YOUR State Representative. You can find your CT legislator at http://www.cga.ct.gov/maps/townlist.asp or in the Blue pages under “ Connecticut , State of” then “Legislators”.
