HIGHGATE, Vt. (AP) — Residents in the town of Highgate, Vt., have voted against a proposed ordinance to bar recreational shooting in residential areas.
The ordinance had been requested by residents of several streets who said neighbors firing guns in inadequate backyard ranges are creating a safety hazard.
Residents defeated the measure at Town Meeting on Tuesday. The vote was 65 to 38 to defeat the proposed ban.
