Town Of Leyden Next Up
The town of Leyden is the next to come under attack at the town level by anti Second Amendment/hunting advocates who have filed a warrant to the town meeting to suppress hunting rights within town.

GOAL is working with residents and urging everyone who is interested to attend the Leyden Annual Town Meeting on January 15, 2018 to support hunting rights within town limits.

Here is an article about the selectmen's meeting which preceded the meeting scheduled for 1/15/18.
