Judge William Cohen issued the ruling Friday, following a hearing in Bennington County Superior criminal court in late May where Misch’s attorney challenging the constitutionality of the magazine ban that went into effect in Vermont on Oct. 1, 2018.

Misch is believed to be the first person charged under a provision of a gun control law, Act 94, that passed the Legislature and was signed by Gov. Phi Scott in April 2018.

Not to mention a WINNING stock car driver - last week at "Thunder Road". Phil ain't too impressed with the orange camo crowd who yells "traitor" at him, cuz it never took him 15 bullets to get a deer.

Phil may be a nominal Republican, but it's the classy, old school style. Ask his trans oponent in the last gov's race.
