38 <br /> I am a landowner and tax payer in Northern Orange County. I have numerous reasons that you <br /> should vote against this ordinance. <br /> First and foremost the land and property is mine. What I do on my property is my business. If <br /> you start telling me what I can and cannot do on my own land what is on your agenda to <br /> control next; my barking dog? I will not be treated by my own government like an HOA. <br /> Second, exactly how do you expect our already taxed Sheriff's department to govern such an <br /> ordinance? My only thought is with more taxes. Wrong! <br /> Third, how exactly are you to determine if it's a hunter or just target practice? You cant! and <br /> you won't be able to. <br /> Fourth, be reasonable on the requirements! How are the landowners supposed to comply due <br /> to the strict guidelines on other structures? <br /> Fifth, can you say that our target shooting has caused any incidents? No, you cannot. Why? <br /> Because we are responsible adults! <br /> My wife and I are both are target shooters and we only shoot during reasonable hours and we <br /> have safety measures in place to ensure no bullets stray from our range area. We govern <br /> ourselves so you are not welcome to offer your big brother oversite on to us! <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Mr. and Mrs. Harold F Wagner Jr. <br /> I have strong concerns as to limiting my constitutional right to shoot safely On my property and <br /> see it as an over reach of local government to step in and tell a land owner that he may not <br /> safely discharge a firearm on their property. I feel that this is back door gun regulation. <br /> Steve Summey <br /> We do not agree with the proposed gun law in motion. We support residents rights on their <br /> private land within reasonable daytime hours. Please advise if this should be redirected <br /> somewhere else or if there is a meeting we may attend to speak against this. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephanie Jopson <br /> Orange County resident and voter <br /> 336-263-2548 <br /> To whom it may concern, <br /> I am against the proposed firearm ordinance being presented February 16, 2016 board <br /> meeting. I should be able to target practice under safe conditions when ever I want to on my <br /> own property. The board is trying to slide this through without the public input it deserves. I <br /> also work and there should not be a time frame which limits my rights. 10 am to 6 am is <br />
