Public Meeting#3 Written Comments

 The following comments were written and submitted at the January 21st public meeting.

Comment #1

Please get the cost estimate of a fully enclosed (short distance) facility. We need to know what the "pie in the sky" silent option costs. Thank you.

Comment #2

  • Regulate size of guns.
  • Limit automatic repeat machine gun types of weapons
  • Ban explosives and canons
  • Have some closed days with no shooting in the area, and limit hours.
