I am awaiting a call from NC Justice Academy on this question, I believe it is a rule as opposed to a statute. But with PPP now repealed the only way to buy a firearm without delays is through a CHP pushed by GRNC in attempt to limit firearms to the poor. Gun control is racist, PERIOD! But at least the PPP allowed residents the ability to purchase firearms without delays and hassles. Again how many members of GRNC are minorities? What is the percentage of minorities to whites holding CHPs? Why are there no free classes being offered for minorities at reduced rates, or free? Why are single mothers being denied the access to protect themselves to line the pockets of GRNC and instructors?
GRNC has gone far beyond PPP in regards to Jim Crow!
My friend, I think you are seriously over-reacting and seeing things that just are not there in regards to this portion of the bill. The only intention of repealing the PPP is to stop local sheriffs from creating so many different conditions to get them in the first place.
Denying single mothers the access to protect themselves? Really?
Somehow, you've taken an innocuous portion of a larger bill and have, from that, made a connection that led you to believe that GRNC is now a racist, elitist, white-only organization that seeks to delay single mothers their ability to protect themselves? While we're on that subject, you're forgetting the 3-14 day avg wait time it takes a sheriff to issue a PPP in the first place.
And all of this is because you believe that GRNC wishes to do all of that work so it can prevent minorities and the poor from getting a handgun or rifle, if they happen to randomly get a "wait" response from tehir NCIS check instead of a "go"? How many minorities and single mothers in this state actually get a "wait" response from an NCIS check in the first place, ten maybe in any given month? 20? less? Do you really believe that all of their time and effort is designed to prevent those ten or so people from getting a gun?
Come on, man.
I can understand you thinking that they somehow hate OC. I don't agree with that much, mostly because I know better. But still, I can see stretching the facts around just hard enough to have that fit- sorta. In a way. But this latest conclusion you've reached is seriously bordering on complete lunacy.
GRNC hates minorities, single mothers, and poor people? In an effort to eliminate a corrupt permit system in the state to speed up the process of gun buying, you really think that they want to, instead, make it harder for 5-10 people a month who happen to get something other than a "GO" from an NCIS check?
On top of that, you're also not mentioning that every county has provisions to issue immediate permits based on a demonstrated threat. In other words, if someone (yes, even minorities and single parents) demonstrates that they are under an immediate danger or threat, they can be issued a permit to by a handgun on the spot with no wait at all.
But what about the other few thousand people (of all color, marital, and economic status, that is) per month that will have the ability to buy a gun at a gun store right then instead of having to go beg the sheriff for a permit that will take over a week to get to them in the first place? Most people do get a "go" result from their NCIS check, in fact. Although there are glitches and false reports come back here and there, the clear majority of people in this state who go through the NCIS check will have a "go" if they are legal to buy.
How about if you want to by your friend's pistol this weekend, but you're fresh out of permits. Under Federal law, you can, well, just buy it, but due to these stupid NC laws, you now have to run down to the sheriff and beg him for another permit if you don't have any, and then wait anywhere from 3-21 days to get it, depending on the county.
You're a good man, Wolf. You really are, and much of your reasoning that I see on this board is sound. But I have to disagree on this one. I never thought I'd see a gun rights advocate in favor of
retaining a state's racist-based gun permit system simply because they think that one of the groups that is pushing for it is racist and hates single parents, based on a serious of incorrect assumptions.
It just doesn't make sense.
Be well.
