A proposed new law in Newton County will prohibit the discharge of any weapon, even air rifles, within 350yds of a residence ,even your own in areas zoned agricultural. The sheriff will have to approve your backstop even in agriculturally zoned areas. Your bullet cannot leave your property even when hunting, and it doesn't matter if you have permission to hunt the adjacent property. You can attend the meeting to discuss this crap on March, 5 at 7pm upstairs in the old Covington courthouse. I do not live in Newton County, but I am in Butts County right next door. I am wanting to look our for my distant neighbors and fellow shooters and gun enthusiast. Make a stand fellows and tell the moron who drafted this what you think.
