37 your current position. While I can't be there on Tuesday night for your meeting because of a home bound 95 year old mother whom I have to visit and caregive for the next 2 days, I would be happy to offer my thoughts afterwards. Thank you for reading and taking the appropriate action. Tom Newsome Retired Chief Deputy State Controller 919-662-6941 Thomasnewsome @earthlink.net Dear Board of Commissioners, We would like to let you know of our opposition to the proposed ordinance regarding the discharge of firearms on private property. We feel that this ordinance has not received adequate public input, including a well advertised public hearing, and in fact appears to have been handled in such a way as to prevent widespread public knowledge of it in advance. We understand that the ordinance was developed in response to a citizen operating a shooting range every day and all day on his property, thereby creating a nuisance for his surrounding neighbors. If this one citizen is behaving inappropriately then the more logical response should be to address that specific situation, rather than casting a broad net that impacts so many people who behave with respect and consideration for their neighbors. We urge you to vote against this unnecessary ordinance that only further divides rural and urban Orange County. Sincerely, Steve and Susan Halkiotis Greetings, I am a resident of southwest Orange county and have been for over 60 years. Today I spoke to several of you to register my opposition to any legislation which would restrict my right to discharge firearms on my property. Unfortunately, I can not attend tomorrows meeting to tell you in person. I have lived, voted and paid taxes here a long time but this is beginning to go to far. Please kill this or at least consider a re-write which is less onerous. James Allen To the committee: I am absolutely against this order.
