By Rusty Marks, The Charleston Gazette
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Some Kanawha County officials are worried that a gun bill recently passed by the West Virginia House of Delegates will have unintended consequences.

Earlier this month, the House voted 94-4 to approve House Bill 2760. The bill "preempts the entire field of regulation in this state which pertains to firearms, ammunition and firearms accessories," according to language contained in the bill. The bill effectively nullifies city and county ordinances concerning guns.
