Ga. man fights for license to sell guns from home

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. (AP) -- A middle Georgia man is fighting local officials for a license to operate a home-based business that sells guns to customers online.<br /> <br /> The Macon Telegraph reports ( http://bit.ly/115HwTN ) Brian Gross of Bonaire has twice been denied a business license by Houston County commissioners. He hopes to succeed this month after a Superior Court judge Wednesday ordered commissioners to grant the license, saying they had no legitimate reason to deny Gross' application.<br /> <br /> Commission Chairman Tommy Stalnaker said he expects commissioners will approve the license at their next meeting Oct. 21 and won't appeal.<br /> <br /> Gross' attorney, Kelly Burke, accused commissioners of denying the license because they're "scared of guns." But county officials say Gross' business plan would violate a local ordinance barring home-based retailers from shipping items to or from their houses.
