RAPPAHANNOCK County’s ordinance outlawing a “loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle” within the. county was ruled invalid by General District Court Judge William Carson on November 16. The county’s game warden, Jim Bankston, advised the Rappahannock Supervisors of this at their December 2 meeting.
On July 1 the Supervisors, upon the recommendation of Bankston, voted unanimously to advertise their intent to adopt state enabling legislation making it “unlawful for any person to transport, possess or carry a loaded shotgun or loaded rifle in any vehicle on any public street, road or highway” within the county. The intent was to adopt the state code for the county at the Board’s September meeting. After the September meeting the Supervisors believed the ordinance had been officially adopted.
However, on November 15 County deputy Martin Orfilia charged two out-of-county men with “discharging a firearm from a vehicle” and with “carrying a loaded firearm in the car.” The next day Judge Carson dismissed the charges against the two hunters because the county had failed to adopt a properly worded county ordinance, Bankston explained.
