43 <br /> I am a landowner of almost 14 acres and occasionally discharge guns for the fun of it, target <br /> practice for my kids and/or practice for my wife. With the proposed ordinance, I am certain <br /> that I would be in violation, considering it's an every other weekend occurrence for my family <br /> this time of year, and even more often when the weather is nice. Especially when considering <br /> the proposed guidelines about x feet from here and x feet from there. <br /> I have not had one complaint from any of my neighbors. Not one. Nor have there been ANY <br /> negative impacts, injuries or mishaps. <br /> The idea that the ENTIRE county of tax paying, land/home owners should be "punished" due <br /> to one individuals irresponsibility is not a practical, or reasonable approach. <br /> The very fact that this proposal is just making it's way to the citizens of Orange County is also <br /> very concerning and, as a result, I feel should it be tabled until rational thought can be applied <br /> — at the least, and then, ultimately, rejected. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Greg Moore <br /> NC Lawn Solutions, LLC <br /> NC Pesticide Applicators Lic# 026-32149 <br /> www.nclawnsolutions.com <br /> 919-485-9338 <br /> Dear Commissioners, <br /> My name is Linda Galloway and my Husband is Neal Galloway we live in Orange County. We <br /> have been shooting on our Paid for 3 acres of land for 30 years. We have taught many about <br /> the safety and fundamentals of marksmanship on our range. <br /> We have a safe range with large berm and targets in front. Our secessions may last 30 <br /> minutes to no longer than 2 hours. If we have any neighbors that complain about noise <br /> because they are sick or trying to sleep or their kids sleep we always postpone our shooting. <br /> WE RESENT ANY UNDO RESTRICTIONS ON OUR LONG FAMILY TRADITION! <br /> We ask that the Commissioners preserve our American Liberties in Orange County. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Neal and Linda Galloway <br /> Hillsborough, NC <br /> I have been a citizen of and a property owner in Orange County for approximately 23 years. I <br /> am a law abiding citizen. I am against the proposed amendment to regulate the discharge of <br /> firearms. This amendment is a hardship on the average citizen. I am not wealthy enough to <br /> own a large piece of land. From my property I cannot even see another structure other than <br /> mine. Even so with your proposed regulations I cannot discharge my weapon because of the <br /> number of feet required to the property line. I think an overwhelming majority of the citizenry is <br /> the same as me. <br />
