34 <br /> under Section 15 of Session Law 2015-195 (formerly H.B. 562) to include a new subsection <br /> (e), to wit: <br /> "A person adversely affected by any ordinance, rule, or regulation promulgated or <br /> caused to be enforced by any unit of local government in violation of this section may <br /> bring an action for declaratory and injunctive relief and for actual damages arising <br /> from the violation. The court shall award the prevailing party in an action brought <br /> under this subsection reasonable attorneys'fees and court costs as authorized by <br /> law." <br /> Please advise us if we are in error. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest you convene an open <br /> session at which a motion could be made to go into closed session only for statutorily <br /> permissible reasons. I can be reached at the email above or at 704-907-9206. I eagerly await <br /> your reply. <br /> My name is Satina Bass, resident of 109 Drake Dr. Mebane, NC 27302 Orange County. I am in <br /> support of the Amendment to regulate the discharge of firearms in a residential neighborhood. <br /> My husband and I have been in our home for 11 years. We have 2 little children that enjoy <br /> playing in their yard. We are very uncomfortable letting our children play in their own yard due <br /> to neighbors shooting firearms on a regular basis. I would ask that you really consider the <br /> elimination of discharging firearms in communities where the properties are so close in <br /> proximity. Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Curtis and Satina Bass <br /> My family is very much in favor of an amendment to regulate the discharge of firearms on <br /> private property. <br /> We are out in the county but we are in a development. Even though we have acre lots, when <br /> neighbors fire guns in their yard, it sounds like they are in our front yard. It's very dangerous <br /> also. You can't relax at all with the "boom, boom, boom" and it scares my dog. It's very <br /> unsettling. <br /> They feel that they have the right to fire the guns since they are out in the county and on their <br /> own property, but noise is an invasion of privacy. When the noise is loud or repetitive, it can <br /> wear on your nerves. At certain decibels, the noise can be hazardous to health. <br /> So, I do appreciate the possibility of an amendment to regulate the activity. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jackie Spivey <br /> 104 Drake Drive <br /> Mebane, NC 27302 <br />
