a petition is simple, state your purpose, set up lines for signatures, and age, location, and career choice takes it a bit futher. Set up an area for them to date it when they sign, and set a goal of the number of signatures youd like to get. You dont need experience to draft a petition. You going to want the majority to be from JC as thats the voting base. The retail aspect and the money the city is loosing should be focused on second by gaining signatures from outside of the city.
Truth is man, to see this through, and get it where it in front of the right people, be prepared to spend a lot of time, and maybe even some money.
Best of luck and maybe some of the others can help you from the legal standpoint. But, at the risk of sounding negative, i doubt much will end up happening from the effort. There arent enough of the people with the power, in the right places in JC. To the majority of the city airsofters are just a very small percentage of people, some not even of legal age to vote, which makes a big difference, and some reckless enough to ruin the hardwork in the future.
