"A bill passed by the state Legislature that allows gun dealers to open shops in their homes has some local officials up in arms.
"How could anybody in their right mind think it was appropriate for a gun shop to open up in a neighborhood?" said Bellevue City Councilman Tom Ratterman.
The legislation, which exempts gun businesses from most zoning laws, sailed through both houses of the General Assembly last week, passing by a 77-17 vote in the House and a 34-4 margin in the Senate.
"Gun businesses should be treated the same way as any other business," Stine said.
Even a small gun shop could affect property values for surrounding houses, Guidugli said. "That's the reason for zoning," he said. "There's a lot of businesses you wouldn't want next door." "
