Gun ordinance causes a stir
Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard
The chambers were packed with concerned citizens Thursday at the Churchill County Commissioner meeting, where a proposal for a gun restriction ordinance received strong opposition from both the public and commissioners.
“I'm certain that an ordinance such as the one that is proposed goes way too far, and it is an infringement on our Second Amendment rights,” said James Smack, chairman of the Churchill County Republican Central Committee.
Richard A. Hintz, manager of Self Stor, requested the county develop an ordinance that would prohibit the discharge of a rifle, gun, or pistol within 5,000 feet of an occupied dwelling, or a shotgun, BB gun or pellet gun within 1,000 feet of people. He added that violators found guilty could be fined from $100 to $1,000 and or sentenced to six months in jail.
