I was reading through this article in the Chesterfield Observer when I saw this (highlighted below):
Commission moves slowly on bowhunting
I sense some "trust" issues -- this implies citizens who show up OC'ing will be viewed with suspicion.
Or perhaps everyone will be viewed as suspect.
Commission moves slowly on bowhunting
Bowhunting has been a contentious topic in Chesterfield since 2009, when a Salisbury resident hired a bowhunter to shoot deer on his property from a tree stand.
Subsequently, several Salisbury residents took their concerns about bowhunting in a residential area to the county’s Board of Supervisors ...
....
Before PRAC makes its recommendation on the bowhunting program to county supervisors, it will hold a public hearing to give county residents an opportunity to weigh in on the hotly contested subject.
PRAC chairman Ron Maxey suggested that PRAC’s regular meeting space in the county’s Community Development Building won’t be big enough to hold all of the people who will want a chance to speak. He also wondered if security might be necessary to maintain order at the public hearing.
“People are very passionate on both sides of this issue and I don’t think there’s a lot of middle ground,” Maxey said. “Regardless of how it comes out, it’s not going to be happy for everybody.”
