Summary
A resident wants to run a small firearms dealing and assembly business out of his home on Nocturne Road, selling at gun shows and online rather than from the house. The board weighed safety concerns about guns stored in a residential home against the fact that the home occupation code doesn't specifically address firearms, and approved it with strict no-sales, no-manufacturing conditions.
