For those who don't know, I was the one who made the petition. I am not a 2nd amendment junkie, I am not a lawyer, I am just a tax paying college boy who wants to carry his weapon to protect himself. I am familiar with the laws like most of you are, and I know my rights and I want them restored.
I got a message from Grass Roots North Carolina (an awesome gun rights group in NC) and they told me they tried to put this in the state house and senate and it flopped both times. They informed me that legislation like this cannot be submitted again until 2011. I am disappointed, but I think we should be able to get some signatures by then if you want to keep this thread on the forum. If the moderator feels different about this, then I won't be sad if he takes this thread off the sticky.
Also petition online.com has not yet given me answer but for some reason I cannot view the emails of the folks who signed so I can update them. If anyone knows how to do this PM me. If you feel like we should change the petition a little bit so it can be submitted before 2011, then I will hand the baton off to you because I have more important things to be doing. I know that sounds harsh, but really, I've got classes to pay for, I'm involved in my church serving the Lord, and I cannot be playing lawyer and politician all day.
I will recommend that we keep signing this petition until we get a better idea of what to do. If someone wants to make a different petition with a little change to the original, then that would be great as well. Thanks for your time and I appreciate those who are linking this to other sites.
