9 <br />ask aperson to take a breathalyzer test but cannot force the person to do so. We can prove that a <br />person was drinking using the facts we are faced with: what’s visible, what’s apparent, the <br />condition of the shooter, everything that can be articulated. Ms. Barksdale added that a deputy <br />can go by the behavior of the person. Mr. Hunnell reiterated his support for a zero tolerance <br />against impaired shooting, but asked how a deputy would determine that shooter enjoying a beer <br />after completing a shooting session was not in violation. Chief Deputy Sykes said that the <br />shooter’s explanation would be part of the facts used by the deputy. If you say you’re done <br />shooting and that you were not drinking before you finished, and we have no reason to think <br />otherwise, then we will take you at your word. <br />Noise: Time and/or Distance Restrictions <br />Mr. Tilley expressed support for adding a time restriction such as is found in the state hunting <br />law. Mr. Kirkland said that he would be in favor of that as well. Sunday traditionally has been a <br />day of peace and rest and football, he said, no matter what one’s religion.If we mirrored the <br />hunting rules then we could give some solace to people to enjoy their Sunday morningwithout <br />hearing shooting. Ms. Conti said that it does not seem unreasonable, if we already cannot hunt on <br />Sunday mornings nor in proximity to a residence or house of worshipduring the rest of the day, <br />to extend that restriction to non-hunting discharges of firearms. Mr. Tilley said that he would be <br />in favor of extendingthe Sunday prohibition to 6 am –1 pm in order to create a quiet time, and <br />between 11pm and 6am for all seven days of the week. A lot of people are concerned about the <br />noise, he said, and most hunters are not going to be shooting between 11pm and 6am. Mr. Tesoro <br />agreed with having a time limit, but suggested language from other counties’ ordinances <br />prohibiting shooting an hour or two before sun up and one or two hours after dark. He went on to <br />share a perspective he was hearing from friends, not necessarily one he agrees with, that all <br />mornings all week should be quiet. And what about all our neighbors who go to church on <br />Wednesday nights? Can we respect the quiet for those times too? Mr. Kirkland said that we can <br />accommodate a few but not all of our neighbors who would like a little more quiet. Ms. <br />Barksdale said that she agreed with having some time limits. Sunday morning is arbitrary and <br />traditional, she said. There are plenty of religions that worship at times other than Sunday <br />mornings, and I feel comfortable choosing Sunday mornings for this ordinance because that is <br />when a majority of our community would most appreciate the quiet time. Dr. Arvik said he <br />agreed with both the sunrise/sunset-based restrictions and the Sunday morning restriction. Mr. <br />Hunnell said that he would prefer quiet zones –reasonable distances, perhaps 500 yards, around <br />buildings of interest such as houses of worship, schools, day care centers, etc. in which shooting <br />would be prohibited so that the noise does not bother them. At the same time, I would not like to <br />restrict a person who works six days a week from shooting a .22 in his backyard with his kids on <br />a Sunday morning when that might be the only day he’s free to do that. A distance restriction is <br />more easily enforced than a time restriction, he added. Ms. Conti said that the distance or time <br />restriction might have its traditional origins in religion, but that today the community’s interest is <br />in the right tohave some peaceful time. The hunting regulations gave us the idea to do this, and
