The last week of heavy rain has prompted Gov. Bev to issue another State-wide SoE EO:
http://www.governor.state.nc.us/NewsItems/ExecutiveOrderDetail.aspx?newsItemID=1455
Please note section 7 of this EO:
This action on her part is a direct threat to the separation of powers as outlined in our State Constitution, and is an attempt by the Governor to re-write State Law extra-legislatively.
Hopefully SAF is aware of what she is doing, and will bring this illegal and unconstitutional over-reach of executive power to light in their lawsuit. Because the ONLY reason she is adding this little addendum to her recent SoE EO's is because this is an election year, and because SAF has a lawsuit pending which addresses this very issue.
Never before has a Governor of NC put these qualifications in an SoE EO. The only reason Gov. Perdue has done this in her last two EOs is because SAF has a lawsuit pending against the State to strie this provision down. She is intentionally telling LEAs not to enforce the firearms restriction because she wants to set a precedent that this law is not used in SoEs, as a defense against SAF's lawsuit.
We see through your ruse, Gov. Perdue...
Gov. Perdue, you were elected to be the chief executive of our state. That means it is your SWORN DUTY to uphold and execute the laws of our state as laid out in the North Carolina General Code. It is NOT within your power or legal ability to CHANGE the way the law is applied. IT is NOT within your power or authority to change NC law for politically expedient reasons.
We see through your ruse Bev. And come November, we're going to make sure that you have a LOT fewer friends sitting in the GA.
We don't want treasonous, seditious dictators who manipulate the law for their own political expediency in the State House, Bev. We see through your ruse, and we're going to start calling you out publicly on your illegal activities.
Better start packing your bags now, Bev, because in 2012, you're going to be shown the door too...

Please note section 7 of this EO:
Section 7.
This order is adopted pursuant to my powers under Article 1 of Chapter 166A of the General Statutes and not under my authority under Article 36A of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes. It does not trigger the limitations on weapons in G.S. § 14-288.7 or impose any limitation on the consumption, transportation, sale or purchase of alcoholic beverages.
This is illegal for her to do. Nowhere in NC Statute does the Governor have the power or authority to selectively implement NC Statutes. When a SoE is declared, G.S. § 14-288.7 AUTOMATICALLY becomes effective. By telling the people of NC that this restriction is not in effect, Gov. Perdue is selectively enforcing the law of our state, and is committing a far-reaching overstep of her Executive Powers. This order is adopted pursuant to my powers under Article 1 of Chapter 166A of the General Statutes and not under my authority under Article 36A of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes. It does not trigger the limitations on weapons in G.S. § 14-288.7 or impose any limitation on the consumption, transportation, sale or purchase of alcoholic beverages.
