		Preston now argued that ordinance 10-26 was validly enacted and that since it permitted the use of muzzleloading rifles for hunting small game animals outside the general open season for deer and turkey, under 4 VAC 15-90-80 the use of muzzleloading firearms must be permitted.
		Preston also argues that the trial court erred in finding the gun she used to be a "muzzleloading rifle," and in finding that the provisions of 10-26 were void due to Southampton County's failure to properly notify DGIF of the changes in 1991.
		Preston is incorrect in arguing that the trial court made the determination that 10-26 was invalid due to Southampton County's failure to notify DGIF of the amendments.
