28 <br /> 1 private land as a commercial firing range without infringing on the rights of EVERYONE. I surely <br /> 2 hope you will take this response into consideration. Thank you, Mike Hogan <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Mike Hogan <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 7 I oppose the ordinance as it now stands. Please table this until more conversation with the <br /> 8 public (again) can be entertained. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Rachel Phelps Hawkins <br /> 11 Landowner in Orange County <br /> 12 This is my personal opinion — not indicative of any email reference address or my employer. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 <br /> 15 To: Orange County Commissioners, <br /> 16 My name is Michael Miles. I am a resident of Orange County and I want to clearly express my <br /> 17 opposition to the proposed amendment 7-a to Orange County Code of Ordinances — Regulating <br /> 18 the Discharge of Firearms. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 I am opposed to this amendment or any amendment with similar intent to restrict or regulate the <br /> 21 use of firearms at the county level. We have adequate regulation of firearms at the State and <br /> 22 Federal levels and do not need more regulation in this area from the county. <br /> 23 Thank you. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Michael Miles <br /> 26 6721 Union Grove Church Rd. <br /> 27 Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> 28 <br /> 29 <br /> 30 I will not be able to attend the meeting tonight, but I OBJECT to the majority of this proposed <br /> 31 ordinance. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 A couple main objections: <br /> 34 1. If the distances regulating the design of the berm are followed, the required distance of 1000 <br /> 35 ft from an occupied structure is unnecessary. <br /> 36 2. The requirement for signage ever 100 ft along the property line is RIDICULOUS. If I have <br /> 37 firearms, I am NOT going to put up a sign that advertises such! Nobody driving by needs to <br /> 38 know that! I will inform my neighbors, but I am not putting up a ridiculous sign every 100'. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Steve Vanderlinden <br /> 41 4206 Hope Valley Dr <br /> 42 Hillsborough, NC <br /> 43 <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Dear Commissioners, <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Thank you for your time, I will be unable to attend the Feb 16th meeting on the new ordinance <br /> 48 that is being brought forward. I have been an Orange County resident since birth and an active <br /> 49 sportsman since a very young age in my life. I live on 1.4 acres in rural Orange County, if <br /> 50 read this correctly I cannot shoot my guns, both used for personal protection and for hunting, <br />
