because I have houses within 1000' of my house. I don't shoot a lot but when I do I have always
used the skills taught during hunter education class and common sense. As long as I am
shooting into a low area on my own property (no chance for the bullet to travel further than I
want) what is the problem. I am one of the few public service members that can afford to still
live in Orange Co and if you run us out who will provide public safety? I am living in the house
my grand parents built when they came to Orange County and I love serving the citizens of
Orange County just as you do. I ask that you take some time to review this matter and
understand that one bad resident (shooter) does not represent all the citizens of Orange County
and we the people elect you to serve all of Orange County.
Thank you for your time and consideration to do what is right.

This email is in response to the scheduled meeting of February 16th, 2016 regarding
amendment to the Code of Ordinances regarding Discharge of Firearms. As an owner of
property in Orange County, I strongly disagree with any amendments to the Code of
Ordinances which limits or prohibits the use of firearms on private property. My property is not
within city limits and was bought because I do not wish to live in or near a town or city and be
subjected to all the restrictions which are placed upon my freedoms. I have been a resident of
Orange County for many years and my father's family has owned land here since the early
1900s. One of the parcels I own is part of that land and is very precious to me. There are
already too many restrictions in this county and I most certainly am against any more being
added.
I lived on Palmer's Grove Road, when my land was going to be made part of Eno State Park
and had property owners not banded together, the land would have gone to the park. I also
remember when Orange County was going to place a dump close to my home in northern
Orange County on Guess Road, Rougemont (Orange County) NC. Once again landowners
banded together and fought it. There is now a park where the dump was going to be. I
remember that when asked where the construction trash would primarily be coming from; the
answer was Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill seems to run this county, but there are those who would
love for them to form their own county and leave the rest of us alone. If you want to live where
you will not hear gunfire or be near an area where firearms are discharged, move to
town, preferably the town of Chapel Hill. In both of the above incidences, the county of
Orange tried quietly to slip these past the citizens it would affect.
Once again, I find myself looking at the same scenario, just a different subject. I have my
conceal/carry permit and target practice on my land. There are "No Trespassing" signs posted
and that should be sufficient. I strongly suggest that you withdraw your proposal to the above
amendment.
Sincerely,
