34 <br /> 1 me know how I may further express my support. Those against the ordinance clearly are more <br /> 2 concerned with their rights to shoot cans than the rights of others to enjoy peace and quiet. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Thank you- <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Katherine Walker <br /> 7 <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Hello, <br /> 10 We are very much for the amendment to regulate the discharge of firearms. Can I attend this <br /> 11 meeting? I am having a hard time finding out where this meeting is located. I saw something <br /> 12 that noted the time as 7pm, 02.16.2016. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 We live in a residential neighborhood consisting of 1 acre lots. We have lived here for more <br /> 15 than 10 years and have lived Orange County for almost 20 years. About a year ago we had <br /> 16 new neighbors move in. These new neighbors decided to start rifle firing on their property. With <br /> 17 the acre lots we are less than 500 feet away from them. In neighborhoods like these it is not <br /> 18 safe for them to be allowed to do this. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 We have been outside playing in our yard and have had to go back inside and shut all windows <br /> 21 and doors due to the noise. We also have resorted to calling the sheriff on occasion as well. <br /> 22 (before the firing started we had never needed to call the sheriff's department) We have <br /> 23 neighbors that have had to move cook outs or birthday parties inside due to the intrusive noise. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 My husband is a Chapel Hill Police officer and has been for 17 years, it has never occurred to <br /> 26 him in our more than 10 years of living here to practice firing in our yard. He always goes to a <br /> 27 range. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Some of our other neighbors have had it worse than us, on Tanya road there are people that <br /> 30 fire day and night and also fire into tannerite. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 It would be very appropriate and long needed for this amendment to pass. At least some <br /> 33 restriction for residential areas. Currently the attitude is "we're out in the county" or"there's no <br /> 34 ordinance preventing me from doing it". I wish that all people would address the situation with <br /> 35 common sense but it will take a change in governance to get change for this issue. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Thank you, <br /> 38 Tracy Shinn <br /> 39 105 Drake Drive <br /> 40 Mebane, NC 27302 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Dear Commissioners: <br /> 44 <br /> 45 You may be following the social medial debate on the proposed gun ordinance. I find <br /> 46 the ordinance confusing and it is unclear if/how the ordinance actually addresses the issue of <br /> 47 nuisance from constant target shooting. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 In my opinion, it would help if you slow this down and give people a chance to have a <br /> 50 meaningful conversation about noise and other nuisances. Most of us accept occasional target <br />
