North Carolina Gov suspends gun rights

The fact that there is a law on the books that even allows this BS for a day is ridiculous! You live in the state... If anyone should be "rung up" it's you!WilySpike said:
I am sure all the criminals out there will all of a sudden start following the law during Earl and not carry guns. Mean while, CCW holders who normally could protect themselves are now helpless targets. Gotta love it! Does anyone know what the definition of "infringed" is? I don't recall seeing anything in the 2nd Amendment that says, except in times of natural disaster on when ever the heck else a government official feels the need to suspend your rights.
You have the right to protect yourself when it's convenient for the peace officers. You don't have the right to protect yourself when you need to? Stupid. I'd pull up the easy chair and sit on my front porch with the shotgun loaded full of 00buck. PLEASE step on my porch...and try to tell someone you were not trying to rob me. just ridiculous.

In case you folks are totally oblivious, Pa has a similar law in the crimes code. They were all taken from the model penal code in the 1970s and 1980s

The law says carrying on the public streets or public property. It does not mention vehicle carry. In a snow emergency, normal vehicular traffic would be prohibited. If you are on your way home, you would be fine for both the weapon carry and driving home.zimmerstutzen said:

On your way home from camp would be on a public street, vehicle carry, walking carry, riding a horse carry, etc, all are forms of carry. Where in their does it exclude some types of carry? Do you think that transporting stolen goods in a truck is not possession of stolen property? If you hit somebody with your fist, a brick or your car it is still assault. There;s no exclusion for vehicle carry
Zimmer- there is a MAJOR exception that I think you missed:zimmerstutzen said:
(a) General rule.--No person shall carry a firearm upon the public streets or upon any public property during an emergency proclaimed by a State or municipal governmental executive unless that person is:
(1) Actively engaged in a defense of that person's life or property from peril or threat.
(2) Licensed to carry firearms under section 6109 (relating to licenses) or is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).
The way I read this: Anyone who has a Carry permit is exempt from this law. In other words, you are allowed to carry a weapon in a state of emergency in PA as long as you have a LTCF.
I totaly agree with Zimmerstuzen!!
What these anti,scared to death of,get rid of, BADGUNS folks want in the above situation is for the NON CRIMINAL LEGAL GUN OWNER to turn his/her firearm in to the closest police station or firehouse and it will promptly be returned to him/her after the snow melts!!
THE EASTER BUNNY AND SANTA'S RUDOLF will handle returns

This is taken from Moosemike;s link:
According to § 14 288.1 (10), a state of emergency exists “whenever, during times of public crisis, disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public emergency, public safety authorities are unable to maintain public order or afford adequate protection for lives or property, or whenever the occurrence of any such condition is imminent.”
This is what I find outragious!!!!!!!!!!! So, they suspend all your gun rights JUST when you need them the most!!!!!!!!!

When the Police (by definition)cannot keep order and protect the citizens.......................WHAT????!!!!!!

I have seen the stuff on this NC law before. I realized that back in 1960-something, they most likley took the word " *****" or "colored" out of the statute, but left the statute standing, intending to still use it against " colored people", but the gov't there still being racist tards would let whites off the hook by having LEO "look the other way". However it never got kicked off the books, and now applies to "everyone" in the state due to times a changin'.
Hmm, and NC isn't the only state with an " amended Jim Crow law". Time for Jim Crow to be GONE 100%. Just proves anti gunners are racists/fascists.
