Virginia: York County Repeals “Prohibited Area” Discharge Ban
On Tuesday, July 20, the York County Board of Supervisors passed Ordinance 10-13 by a vote of 3 to 2. The original intent of the ordinance was to rescind both Section 16-7, Discharging of Firearms within Certain Areas Prohibited and Section 16-37, Discharge of High Powered Rifles Prohibited. However, at the meeting, the Board decided to retain Section 16-37 by a separate vote of 3 to 2. Section 16-37 will remain in effect and will continue to ban the discharge of all rifles larger then .22 caliber, except for the purposes of self-defense, hunting, or target shooting on firing ranges.
