John Gallagher: That is correct. 1 <br /> 2 <br />T.C. Morphis: Tell me a little bit about yourself. How long have you lived at your property? 3 <br /> 4 <br />John Gallagher: My wife and I bought this property about 12 years ago, maybe 13 years ago now and we cleared the 5 <br />land for a home site, lived in a mobile home on the home site for about a year and one half while we built our home 6 <br />and we have lived there continuously over those 12 years. 7 <br /> 8 <br />T.C. Morphis: In those 12 years, what is the only way to get in and out of that property? 9 <br /> 10 <br />John Gallagher: The only way in and out is the easement. I am sorry to correct this, it is a matter of personal 11 <br />accuracy, and the easement we are talking about off the paved section of Ford Road is all easement through private 12 <br />land. It is not Angel Way. Angel Way is another road that is the end of that easement and it is labelled as Angel way 13 <br />there. The easement that Mr. Harvey referred to is the easement that everyone who lives down on this section of 14 <br />Ford Road passes through so this is in essence the road to our property and it goes through two pieces of property 15 <br />owned by Mr. Klein. 16 <br /> 17 <br />T.C. Morphis: Just to orient the board, is the easement you are talking about, does it go through the bottom left hand 18 <br />corner, the southwest corner of the Bingham Woods Mobile Home tract. 19 <br /> 20 <br />John Gallagher: That is the easement we are talking about. 21 <br /> 22 <br />T.C. Morphis: We will get to the location of the range but for now, do you drive by the range entrance? 23 <br /> 24 <br />John Gallagher: Yes I do. 25 <br /> 26 <br />T.C. Morphis: Every day? 27 <br /> 28 <br />John Gallagher: Every day. 29 <br /> 30 <br />T.C. Morphis: Okay. Now, are you the only people in your family who live in this area? 31 <br /> 32 <br />John Gallagher: My wife lives with me on the property that is labelled number seven. I have a daughter, son-in-law 33 <br />and grandchild that live on the property, the land that is directly to the left. 34 <br /> 35 <br />T.C. Morphis: How long have they lived there? 36 <br /> 37 <br />John Gallagher: They have lived there 13 years. 38 <br /> 39 <br />T.C. Morphis: Do any of you, including your daughter and son-in-law own guns? 40 <br /> 41 <br />John Gallagher: Yes we do. 42 <br /> 43 <br />T.C. Morphis: Tell me what kind of guns you own? 44 <br /> 45 <br />Larry Wright: Why is this relevant? 46 <br /> 47 <br />T.C. Morphis: It is relevant to show the truthfulness and character of the witness. One question the board may have 48 <br />is do these people know anything about firearms and shooting. 49 <br /> 50 <br />22
