In 2009, the Rankin County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance banning the discharge of firearms inside of and within 500 yards of platted subdivisions, as well as hunting with a bow inside of and within 100 yards of platted subdivisions. This far-reaching ordinance created large āno hunting zonesā that extended far beyond subdivision property lines into neighboring tracts of land. In no way did it account for the property rights of landowners within those boundaries, or for cases in which firearms could safely be discharged on those land tracts with no threat to neighbors. In response to concerns raised by local NRA members, sportsmen and landowners, the Board amended the ordinance in February of 2010 to change the distance prohibition from 500 yards to 200 yards for firearms.
