the property owned by Ronald L. Ingold, at 798 Ross Harris Rd, Asheboro,
NC, Richland Township. Tax ID# 7667364700. The Special Use Permit
would specifically allow the applicant to obtain a Federal Firearms License
that would allow internet sales, ammunition manufacturing, and the sales of
reloading components in an existing 30 ft. by 33 ft. building as per site plan.
Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if anyone was present to speak in favor of
the Special Use Permit request.
Matthew Ingold, 798 Ross Harris Rd., Asheboro said he plans to sale components
primarily on the internet with some reloading of ammunition as well.
Joyce asked if there would be a shooting range. Ingold answered no.
Cable asked if there would be a test firing area. Ingold said there would be an area on
the back side of the property where they would test the accuracy of the ammunition as
needed but no shooting range. He said the shooting would not exceed the shooting that
is currently done on the weekends.
Slusher asked about his hours of operation. Ingold said there would not be specific hours
of operation because the business would be primarily internet sales. Slusher asked if this
would be his second job. Ingold answered yes.
Joyce asked if his hours would be after 5:00 p.m. Ingold said his current job requires
rotation between first and second shifts which will cause his hours in the workshop to
rotate as well.

p.m.
Cable asked Ingold if there had been any complaints in the past from the neighbors.

test firing and if he would work on Saturday and Sunday. Ingold said he would not be
shooting past 7:00 p.m., possibly mid-day on Saturdays and no shooting on Sundays.

trucks for his orders. Ingold said that area is used primarily He
said there would not be a designated parking area because of having primarily internet
