Actually this, we need to have gun rights protection. If we only have groups for "pay 4 play" privlegese. We will soon lose what rights we have. I already see a decline
first and foremost is due to the state's statutes which state NC citizens must have a locally issued PPP or CHP to purchase handguns! that the box stores ignore that mandate and still use the FBI's NICS is not my concern.
PB, what is unfortunate is the concept due to the idiot savant mentality from certain unnamed state level grass root entity
only promoting '
sane, sober, law abiding citizens' only carry concealed coupled with the fact the state wide firearm forum is comprised mainly of these grassroots savants espousing the same garbage fills the airways.
oh wait, i do not want to make it seem i am maligning and possibly violate forum rules, i did forget to give credit due where it is deserved...the statewide local grass root entity did
"PASS" all of our current firearm statutes!! copied from their website:
Central to drafting and
passing North Carolina’s concealed handgun law;
Passed a clean concealed handgun reciprocity law which has captured 38 states;
Passed legislation enabling concealed handgun permit-holders to avoid redundant background checks when purchasing handguns, thereby circumventing sheriffs who restrict such permits;
Passed one of the strongest “Castle Doctrine”/”Stand Your Ground” laws in the country.
ad nauseam...
and lo and behold, the statewide grass root entity love fest seems to waning...as it has struck out against the NC speaker with this commentary:
So please tell me, Mr. Speaker, why promises made to gun voters to move the legislation (which they so desperately need) remain unfulfilled. Ugly rumors conjecture that North Carolina Republicans,
secure in their super-majorities after redistricting and interested in sitting back to enjoy the spoils of power, now feel they are no longer responsible to the voters who sent them to Raleigh to defend our rights.
Further, as you are aware, our state's legislative body is stuck on stupid as they push gerrymandering, HB2 BS issues, and other nonsensical crap and only endear themselves to those citizens associated with those self-serving statewide entries who push the other firearm agenda ~ CC!
finally, look who is teaching the CHP programs in this state...the nice LEs ~ retired or active, who are afraid of losing their profit center or truly believe our citizens can not be trusted to carry a firearm unless they are trained by those who have received "proper" LE type training.
Papa, look at the symptoms...the profit center is alive and well, the statewide firearm entries are secure in their money making schemes, and the legislature no longer needs the gun carrying citizens to assure their seat in state governance!!!
