MADISON - The state Senate's judiciary committee has approved a Republican bill that would eliminate Wisconsin's decades-old two-day waiting period for handgun purchases.
The Republican-controlled panel passed the measure 3-2, clearing the way for a full Senate vote. It's unclear when or if that might happen. Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald's spokeswoman says Senate Republicans haven't discussed the measure.
The waiting period was enacted in the mid-1970s.
