0 36 <br /> 4 <br /> * semi-automatic shotguns with a magazine capacity of <br /> more than six rounds; <br /> * any semi-automatic firearm that is a modification of <br /> an automatic firearm (defined in North Carolina General <br /> Statute 14-288 . 8) . <br /> The term "weapon of mass destruction" might further be <br /> defined to include parts designed or intended to convert <br /> a firearm into a semi-automatic weapon as defined as well <br /> as any firearm which may be restored to an operable semi- <br /> automatic weapon. <br /> We propose that there be an exception in this ordinance <br /> applicable to law enforcement personnel carrying <br /> department issued and approved firearms as part of their <br /> law enforcement duties and for other designated lawful <br /> purposes. <br /> In accordance with the Council 's position stated at the September <br /> 7-8 public hearing, Resolution A would call a public hearing on <br /> these specific ordinance recommendations. <br /> We believe the specific ordinance provisions recommended for <br /> further consideration are all reasonable steps and that a fair <br /> argument could be made in court, if necessary, that these <br /> ordinances are within the Town's statutory and constitutional <br /> authority to enact. <br /> If Resolution A is adopted, draft ordinances would be prepared for <br /> presentation at the public hearing. <br /> B. Response to Comments and Questions from Public Hearing <br /> Our notes from last month's hearing indicate two specific questions <br /> or issues raised at the hearing needing individual responses. <br /> 1. A citizen commented that a statement in the Town Attorney' s <br /> memorandum of September 7 regarding possession of firearms by <br /> certain individuals was in error based on federal law. A <br /> separate memorandum from the Attorney responds to that <br /> comment. <br /> 2 . A question was raised regarding the applicability of Town <br /> firearm regulation ordinances to the University campus . <br /> Ordinances enacted under the Town's police powers are <br /> generally applicable within the Town limits and on Town-owned <br /> property outside the Town's corporate limits. In addition, we <br /> note that firearms are already prohibited by state law on <br /> property owned or operated by the University. <br />
