39 <br /> 1 As a responsible gun owner I feel that the proposed gun ordinance for Orange county goes <br /> 2 against my Second Amendment rights. Why punish the whole county due to the neglect of one <br /> 3 person. I wound how ever be in favor of supporting the recommendations of the county sheriff if <br /> 4 you feel that something must be done. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Best regards <br /> 7 Robert Hulse <br /> 8 Efland, Nc <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Please reject all proposals outright. The right to fire arms on private property is a free will given <br /> 12 to us as American Orange County land owners and shot NOT be taken away! <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Stephanie Patterson <br /> 15 <br /> 16 <br /> 17 <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Dear Sirs, <br /> 20 As a responsible gun owner and member of Buckhorn Gun Club in Orange County, I oppose <br /> 21 any ordinance that that could impact my freedom of gun ownership and shooting of guns in a <br /> 22 responsible manner on private land. I ask that you work in a manner to deal with the problems <br /> 23 that have resulted in this proposal on an individual basis and not at the expense of the law <br /> 24 abiding citizens. Please feel free to contact me if needed regarding this matter. <br /> 25 Sincerely, Ronald H. Kearns <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Ronald Kearns <br /> 28 5905 Jameson Road <br /> 29 Rougemont, NC 27572 <br /> 30 Ph 919-732-7910 Email: rhkearns @vahoo.com <br /> 31 <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Dear Commissioners, <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Please know that if this meeting was open to the public, I would be there. My name Is Jennifer <br /> 36 Merritt Depew and my Husband and the majority of my Merritt, Woods, Cook and Yates family <br /> 37 live in Orange County. We have been shooting on our 5 acres of land for years as my great- <br /> 38 grandmother and great uncles did for 80 years or so before me. I am a Concealed Carry <br /> 39 Handgun instructor, NRA Basic Pistol Instructor and a NRA trained Range Safety officer, but <br /> 40 my main goal is empowering the disempowered. While teaching the laws regarding the uses of <br /> 41 deadly force that were taught to me by the North Carolina Department of Justice, we have <br /> 42 instructed many about the safety and fundamentals of marksmanship and safety on our <br /> 43 property. I take no more than 10 students (at the most) a few times a month (at the most) to <br /> 44 target practice. I am an NRA Range Safety Officer and do everything within my training and <br /> 45 power to ensure the safety of my shooters and any surrounding property. I "instruct" one person <br /> 46 at a time. There is no "wild" firing. I have my hands on my students at all times while they are <br /> 47 firing. I teach the elderly and infirm. Therefore it takes a little while, as it should, to ensure <br /> 48 thoroughness and proper training. <br /> 49 <br />
