I got one email back regarding my reply to the Board regarding cougar sightings at R-Ranch in the Sequoias and the Board's new "(No) Firearms" policy:
David,
Your response to Norma was apparently forwarded only to the board.
I was the only nay vote on the board for this rule, and even an owner who doesn't support guns believed this unenforceable, and said so.
Mel was instructed to include all my comments as to why I was going to vote against this rule.
She chose not to do so on the draft that was published.
This is some of what I said, it doesn't cover all the points:
1. A rule should be in response to multiple violations or infractions, not based on a signal incident.
2. That the rule should be enforceable. This rule may provoke owners to become "policemen".
"Susan spoke against the proposed rule, noting that the Ranch has successfully managed without this rule for over 15 years. Susan further said that rules should be implemented for multiple violations and enforceable; this rule was based on one incident, handled peaceably by the Sheriff, it will be difficult to enforce, and could create further division between owners."
