I was looking through the NC Wildlife Commission proposed regulation changes for the 2009 Hunting Season and this is what I found:

[align=left]H29. Remove restrictions on the types of firearms allowed on game lands during[/align]
[align=left]open hunting seasons, but while big game seasons are closed.[/align]
[align=left][/align]
[align=left]Justification: Currently, it is illegal to possess on game lands a shotgun shell[/align]
[align=left]containing larger than No. 4 shot or any rifle or pistol larger than a .22 caliber[/align]
[align=left]rimfire during the closed big game firearms seasons. This regulation would[/align]
[align=left]eliminate those restrictions and open up opportunities to hunters.[/align]

This would finally allow self-defense firearms to be carried on NC Gamelands and National Forests since some hunting seasons such as coyote season do not close. To get this passed we must make our voice heard at the NC Wildlife Commission Public Hearings. Here is the schedule for the hearings:[/align]

[align=left]Hearing Time: 7 p.m.[/align]

Just sent a notice to the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America. Let's get the ball rolling. Anyone else a member of any other pro-gun organizations?
