As a responsible gun owner I feel that the proposed gun ordinance for Orange county goes
against my Second Amendment rights. Why punish the whole county due to the neglect of one
person. I wound how ever be in favor of supporting the recommendations of the county sheriff if
you feel that something must be done.

Please reject all proposals outright. The right to fire arms on private property is a free will given
to us as American Orange County land owners and shot NOT be taken away!

Dear Sirs,
As a responsible gun owner and member of Buckhorn Gun Club in Orange County, I oppose
any ordinance that that could impact my freedom of gun ownership and shooting of guns in a
responsible manner on private land. I ask that you work in a manner to deal with the problems
that have resulted in this proposal on an individual basis and not at the expense of the law
abiding citizens. Please feel free to contact me if needed regarding this matter.

Dear Commissioners,
Please know that if this meeting was open to the public, I would be there. My name Is Jennifer
Merritt Depew and my Husband and the majority of my Merritt, Woods, Cook and Yates family
live in Orange County. We have been shooting on our 5 acres of land for years as my greatgrandmother
and great uncles did for 80 years or so before me. I am a Concealed Carry
Handgun instructor, NRA Basic Pistol Instructor and a NRA trained Range Safety officer, but
my main goal is empowering the disempowered. While teaching the laws regarding the uses of
deadly force that were taught to me by the North Carolina Department of Justice, we have
instructed many about the safety and fundamentals of marksmanship and safety on our
property. I take no more than 10 students (at the most) a few times a month (at the most) to
target practice. I am an NRA Range Safety Officer and do everything within my training and
power to ensure the safety of my shooters and any surrounding property. I "instruct" one person
at a time. There is no "wild" firing. I have my hands on my students at all times while they are
firing. I teach the elderly and infirm. Therefore it takes a little while, as it should, to ensure
thoroughness and proper training.
