Johnston County commissioners are considering an ordinance to ban shooting of any kind of projectile within 600 feet of a dwelling. This would include BB and pellet guns. Upon questioning, county officials admitted that this would even include bows and arrows.





Aren't you happy that these officials want to protect you from yourselves! Once again our elected officials seem to be mistaking themselves for our mothers. It is time to remind them.





Well, the good news is that when this last came up for a vote it was tied 4 to 4 and was shelved. Now you will have a chance to put in your opinions. The Johnston County Board of Commissioners will hold public hearings on Monday, January 3, 2011, in the Commissioners' meeting room, Johnston County Courthouse Annex, Smithfield, NC 27577. These hearings will follow the Rezoning and Special Use Hearings and other regular business, which begin at 6:00 p.m.





IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED


* Email AND call ALL Johnston County commissioners using this link:

* Attend the meeting on Jan. 3 at 6:00 p.m. Let's do our best to pack the room at 207 East Johnston Street in Smithfield.

Don't kid yourself - TN is getting invaded too.  From both "ends" too - FL and the north east.

I guess launching members who vote  for the ordinance from a catapult would also be banned.

Press the "Clear Lines" button, and then you can see other counties in TN.





A lot of black ( migration inward ) lines from Florida.

Are you infering that people from Fl are the reason for such laws/ordinances?

But one has to wonder how things like this happen.  Either gun owners are too complacent and are not proactive enough.  Perhaps gun owners are choosing to vote for liberal, anti gun elected officials.  Or, perhaps, the people moving into these states ( my state included ) are changing the voting populace to one of a more liberal bias.



ymmv

I took a look at the link you posted. The areas that are migrating that way ARE the more liberal areas of the state If you look closely the people of the northern part of FL. are staying put.
