A Madison County official says he won't resubmit a proposed firearms ordinance that would have kept county residents from firing a gun within 300 feet of a home.
About 100 residents packed a recent meeting to protest the first proposal that was defeated on a 4-1 vote. Commissioner Mike Youngblood says he won't resubmit his proposal.
Youngblood says he introduced it after two groups in his district complained about people shooting close to their homes.
Opponents backed by the National Rifle Association say the law would not only violate the Second Amendment but also the rights of property owners.
One resident, Gary Venable, says gun control laws are handled by the state of Georgia and not the county.
