COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis dropped by the office this week to register a complaint about the echtonal in last week’s issue of the News, cnticizing his actions in the Board of Supervisors’ unsuccessful attempt (thus far) to adopt an ordinance banning loaded guns in vehicles. The ordinance that was adopted was ruled invalid when the first case under its provisions was brought, on grounds that it was improperly worded and enacted without being duly advertised or without a proper public hearing. The News editorial suggested that if the ordinance had not been adopted legally, then the Supervisors had been the victim of bad legal advice from the Commonwealth’s Attorney. . . . . Davis says he did, indeed, advise the Supervisors, “both at their meetings and in between meetir«s,” of proper legal procedures. He said that when the Game Warden appeared before the Supervisors asking them to follow the state code on loaded guns in vehicles, “I advised that it wasn’t a state law, merely an enabling act for local option. I advised that that was not the way to enact an ordinance, but the Game Warden insisted that he wanted the state ordinance published and acted on. After the meeting, I told the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors that proper procedures weren’t followed, and I asked for a conference to go over the details.
According to Davis, his repeated efforts to have such a conference, with the Game Warden present, were unsuccessful.
