After ruling on appeal,county repeals gun law

County commissioners voted Tuesday to repeal a law that fines gun owners who have not secured their firearms from children.

The measure passed 4-to-3, with Commissioners Burt Aaronson, Addie Green and Carol Roberts dissenting.

Commissioners Karen Marcus, Tony Masilotti, Mary McCarty and Warren Newell said they didn't want to vote for the repeal but were compelled because of a March appellate court ruling that made it illegal for the city of South Miami to require trigger locks.

Palm Beach County's ordinance mirrored South Miami's, which fined violating gun owners up to $500.
