Section 1 appears to contradict the rest of it. If this is Georgia law, I would assume (Yeah, I know) that some legislator sponsored it and carried it through the state legislature. In all sections, it appears to uphold landowner property rights. Since you are doing research, see if you can find out who the sponsor is/was and try to get a clarification from him/her regarding their intent. They might have proposed it to help property owners, like you, escape and receive protection from governmental heavy handedness. Your local legislator could be invaluable here. You live in the community and are a voter.
In Texas, we have a bill before the legislature to protect rural property owners from city codes. Due to the rising price of land and ever increasing development, cities are incorporating/grabbing rural land outside of city limits. They seldom want to talk about providing services but are interested in collecting city taxes. NO question that the rural schools need more funding. The bill would allow newly incorporated landowners to keep hunting on their land. Right now, you can live 10 or more miles out of town, get incorporated and no longer shoot in the new city limits.
