Senate committee to take comments on gun waiting bill

MADISON - The state Senate's judiciary committee is set to take public comments on a Republican bill that would eliminate Wisconsin's 48-hour waiting period before purchasing a handgun.

The bill would allow gun dealers to transfer weapons to buyers immediately after receiving notice from the state Department of Justice that the purchaser has cleared a background check. Gov. Scott Walker has told the National Rifle Association he supports the bill.
