PORTLAND - The Board of Selectmen has withdrawn a proposed gun ordinance and now will examine the town’s noise ordinance to determine whether it can be used to address complaints about the sound of gunfire.
First Selectwoman Susan Bransfield sought a draft ordinance intended to alleviate what officials said are concerns and complaints about the sound of legal gunfire coming from private property.
The selectmen were scheduled to discuss the ordinance at their meeting this week.
