I appeal to you all to do whatever possible to reverse the process of approving an ordinance permitting outdoor shooting ranges in Jefferson County. I am certain you are aware of the growing problem of militarization of our peninsula, and the growing alarm, anger, and outrage of residents, not to mention the dismay of visitors and tourists. Our peace and wellbeing have been severely impacted in many ways in the past several years, from the Growler jet installation, to their now proposed expansion, to the naval blasting and bombing of our marine sanctuaries, to the invasion of our parks and lands by naval "practice" exercises using citizenry as "pretend" targets, etc. We have had enough. Giving approval to outdoor shooting ranges in our county will give the go-ahead to yet more invasive operations, further destroying our peace and privacy, negatively impacting the precious environment, and will put a large percentage of Jefferson County residents over-the-edge. Please, ask yourselves, in today's climate of inadequate gun control laws, daily episodes of violent and mortal mass gun attacks on our people, should officials representing the people of Jefferson County enact a regulation that gives development permission to a for-profit shooting range -- against the will of the people? Sincerely, Alea Waters, RN 375 Woodland Ave. aleawaters@olypen.com Fri 11/16/2018 11:49 AM To:Planning Commission Desk <PCommissionDesk@co.jefferson.wa.us>; Page 1 of 2Fwd: ZON18-00036: SHOOTING RANGE REGS -Planning Commission Desk 11/16/2018https://owa.co.jefferson.wa.us/owa/ Port Townsend, WA 98368 360-379-0275 Page 2 of 2Fwd: ZON18-00036: SHOOTING RANGE REGS -Planning Commission Desk 11/16/2018https://owa.co.jefferson.wa.us/owa/
