We're talking with Vermont gun owners about how their use of firearms informs their views on gun laws and gun control.

Conversations about firearms and gun control are often dominated by extreme views, leaving many in the middle whose voices aren't heard. That includes voices informed by their own gun ownership. We're talking with Vermont gun owners about recent shifts in the discussion around guns and our gun laws. 

We're joined by:

  • Jeff Chamberlin, a hunter from Killington who says he has used guns since the age of 12
  • Michael Abajian, a retired Montpelier physician who has owned and used guns his whole life
  • Seth Chase, a Colchester network engineer who has used guns his entire life, including the years before, during, and after his time in the U.S. Army and the Vermont Army National Guard.

Broadcast live on Thursday, Mar. 1, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
