MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA <br />Aviva Enoch presented a petition with 144 signatures as stated <br />below: <br />"Orange County's hunting laws are among the most permissive in <br />North Carolina. Hunters currently are entitled to shoot high- <br />powered rifles dangerously close to residential areas. Stray <br />bullets from these guns can travel for over a mile and pass through <br />and close to people's yards. We, the undersigned Orange County <br />citizens feel strongly that this threatens the safety of our <br />neighborhood and endangers the lives of our children and pets. We <br />urge the Orange County Commissioners to act quickly to reform our <br />hunting laws -- following examples set in many other parts of the <br />state, including Wake and Chatham Counties." <br />
