More on the "temporary" concealed carry ban in North Carolina:
Residents Fumed Over Weekend Alcohol, Firearm Ban
quote:
KING, N.C. -- Residents in King were fumed over the weekend after a state of emergency declaration restricted the sale of alcohol and the carrying of firearms in vehicles. King Police Chief Paula May said she’s received hundreds of threats related to the restrictions, which banned driving from 12 a.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. The state of emergency for King was declared by members of the City Council after Stokes County authorities also declared a state of emergency. Under North Carolina law, May said, when a state of emergency is put into place that includes a ban on driving, the sale of alcohol and carrying of firearms in vehicles is also banned.
Why would state government ban the carrying of a firearm in a state of emergency? If the people can be trusted to carry them all year long, that makes absolutely no sense. What that means, if there was a terrorist attack in North Carolina, citizens would not be able to carry a weapon to protect themselves, which means that citizens would then rely on national guard who are not allowed to chamber a round in their rifle for protection. This is almost as absurd as members of the military not being able to have access to weapons and ammunition on a base such as the situation that occurred at Fort Hood. It is time to repeal this silly law and send that police chief packing.
