AUGUST 30, 1999 <br /> <br />INFORMAL PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br /> Mr. R. V. Blackwelder, father of Debra Duke who resides on Old <br />Concord/Salisbury Road, disagreed with the Sheriff's interpretation of the <br />County's Firearms Ordinance. He complained about a personal firing range <br />located next to his daughter's home and expressed concern for her safety. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hartsell advised that Section 46-2(b) of the County Firearms <br />Ordinance is ambiguous and needs to be revised to more expressly identify the <br />land area in which a firearm may not be discharged in the county. <br /> <br /> There was brief discussion regarding the current ordinance, including <br />the growth in the county since the ordinance was adopted in 1967 and the <br />issues of distance and noise. The Board by general consensus asked the County <br />Manager and County Attorney to review the existing ordinance and provide <br />recommended revisions for the Board's consideration. The proposed draft <br />ordinance should be brought back to the Board by the October 18th meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
