Gov. Perdue's Order Suspends Rights of NC Gun Owners
HIS NAME IS EARL AND YOUR RIGHTS ARE NIL
With the approach of Hurricane Earl, the North Carolina state of emergency statute (N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-288.7) has once again reared its ugly head. Gov. Perdue has declared a state of emergency for the entire state of North Carolina. As a result it is a Class 1 misdemeanor "for any person to transport or possess off his own premises any dangerous weapon or substance." There is no exception for recreational shooting. There is no exception for hunting. There is no exception for having a concealed carry permit. The prohibition applies to all possession -- open carry, concealed carry and transportation in a vehicle.
GUESS WHAT SATURDAY IS!
Anybody? That's right... Dove season opens Saturday at noon. Unless Earl is well past NC and the SoE has been lifted (not likely), every hunter who doesn't live in the dove field is a criminal.
Following the state of emergency declared this winter in King, GRNC attempted legislation to solve this problem. Now GRNC is part of the lawsuit filed against the state of N.C. on this very issue. Attorney Alan Gura - who won the Heller and McDonald decisions affirming the Second Amendment as an individual right and overturning the gun bans in DC and Chicago - helms this case.
Elections have consequences and this November, you have a unique opportunity to change the landscape of the N.C. General Assembly. Not only would this allow legislation like that attempted by GRNC to pass, it will set up a friendlier environment for the redistricting of U.S. Congressional districts. Remember last time this allowed Brad Miller to custom design the 13th district just for himself. Elections have consequences. Make them positive.
