44 <br /> I certainly hope that you will table this proposal and seek further input from Orange County <br /> citizens. Thank you. <br /> Walter M. Mills <br /> Dear Orange County Commissioners, <br /> It has come to the attention of a number of citizens, concerned land and gun owners of <br /> Orange County that the above amendment regulating the discharge of firearms will be voted <br /> on during the above meeting. <br /> This proposed ordinance is a result of a landowner in the county using their property as a <br /> shooting range all day long, every day and creating a nuisance. The complaints of this <br /> nuisance resulted in the Orange County Planning Department creating and proposing this <br /> ordinance to the Commissioners. This proposed ordinance is a knee jerk reaction by the <br /> Orange County Planning Department without consideration of the result on property owners <br /> and gun owner's rights. Alternative resolutions were presented to the Planning Department for <br /> consideration, all of which were rejected and the present ordinance resubmitted to the <br /> Commissioners for a vote without landowner or gun owner's input. The only choice we as <br /> citizens have is to convince you to table this amendment and reconsider it after public input. <br /> It is very concerning that there has been very little public notification and discussion of this <br /> proposed ordinance. There are many items in this amendment that we as citizens and gun <br /> owners would like to see removed or better yet consider the Lenoir County Ordinance <br /> Regulating The Discharge of Firearms for public input. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Mac & Phyllis McDade <br /> Concerned Orange County Citizens <br /> Dear OCBOCC, <br /> I am one of many Orange County citizens who are opposed to the proposed Orange County <br /> Gun Ordinance. Please don't pass it. Thanks. <br /> Mark Prokop <br /> Chapel Hill, NC <br /> Have a blessed day!!! <br /> Why do you people think you get to tell folk what they can and can't do on their own land. You <br /> might think that you have enough liberals in the city and you don't need rural votes but you're <br /> wrong. People are going to shoot on their land no matter what you do. You just want another <br /> way to put your fascist boot on their neck. See you Tuesday. <br /> Michael A Philpott <br /> Commissioners: <br />
