We do this through hunting, harvesting, processing, and donating venison. <br /> While OCOM is not a hunting club and hunting is certainly not our only activity, hunting does <br /> make up a portion of our fellowship events. The safe use of firearms is critical when hunting and <br /> I have been working to develop a Firearms Safety seminar or course for the members of OCOM <br /> and the surrounding community. <br /> In summary, I believe that I can add value to the Orange County Firearms Safety Committee <br /> because my interests and values have been formed and developed in North Carolina. I am a <br /> North Carolinian and very proud of the state that I call home. I am a strong supporter of the <br /> Constitution of the United States of America and believe deeply in the Bill of Rights, specifically <br /> the Safeguards of Liberty(the First, Second, and Third Amendments). Furthermore, I am <br /> currently involved in non-profit community work and can help develop and promote firearms <br /> safety and my ministry group has already started reviewing this issue in-depth. Lastly, I am a <br /> proud Christian, Hunter, and supporter of the Second Amendment. I will passionately defend <br /> each of these important areas of my life. With that said, everyone that I have ever had the <br /> pleasure of working with will tell you that while I have strong beliefs, I also will always strive to <br /> review issues from multiple perspectives and find common ground that will serve as <br /> commonsense solutions to very real problems. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> First and foremost, my desire to join this board is a direct result of having a desire to serve and <br /> represent my community. I work full-time for Duke University and while I enjoy my job, I find my <br /> greatest personal satisfaction comes from my volunteer activity within Orange County. <br /> Second, I am believer in the Constitution of the United States of America. I fully support the Bill <br /> of Rights and have a passion for the First, Second, and Third Amendments, which are our <br /> Safeguards of Liberty. <br /> I am happy to see a committee being set up to focus on a topic such a firearms safety. Naturally, <br /> a firearms safety committee will certainly include not just the safe handling of firearms but also <br /> the safe uses of firearms. Furthermore, this will naturally lead to other areas of firearms related <br /> topics and the committee must be mindful of these topics as they relate to our Second <br /> Amendment. <br /> The Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America states that a€cea <br /> well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to <br /> keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. I am a supporter of the Second Amendment and <br /> would to work with other members of the Firearms Safety Committee to develop unified ideas <br /> that result in increased firearms safety while also insuring that our Second Amendment rights <br /> are not infringed upon. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 3/6/2016 4:20:47 PM Date Printed: 5/4/2016 <br />
