Wesley Chapel Gun Ordinance Vote Delayed
A vote on outdoor gun restrictions in the Union County Village of Wesley Chapel won’t come for at least another month.
The council on Tuesday night again postponed voting on the ordinance to clarify its wording. The measure would limit gun firing inside the town limits to hunting with neighbors’ permission and for self-defense.
The village began drafting the ordinance after residents of the Stonegate subdivision complained about an adjacent private gun range on six acres owned by an area doctor, Michael Land.
Two council members, Sondra Bradford and Rick Croffut, will further research what activities, firearms types and areas it affects, Mayor Tracey Clinton said. The council on April 1 tabled the ordinance for similar reasons.
