Vichycon Alert

There has been no vote to override Josh Stein’s veto because there are not enough votes in the NC House of Representatives.  One reason for this is the four RINOs which stand in their way and the will of the majority of their constituents. [More]

I’d say some public pressure on @NCGOP is in order…

Banking on Disarmament

WHAT IS HB38?: HB38, the Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act, prevents payment card networks from using a firearms code for purchases in North Carolina. It would also prevent payment card networks from maintaining a record of individuals residing in this State who own firearms. More importantly, it would prohibit a payment card network from discriminating against a firearms merchant, including refusing to serve or declining a lawful payment card transaction. [More]

What, they don’t want the Department of PreCrime snitchware being pushed by a communist bank?

GRNC Alert: ‘Freedom to Carry’ Bill Advances

From Marc Erickson, Director, GRNC, via email:

On March 20th, the NC Senate passed SB50, the Concealed Carry Bill 26 to 18. Next week our House will likely be moving H5 (the complementary bill) to the House Floor for a vote.

Ammoland embeds my video from GRNC:

We have an alert active requesting that citizens contact our 100 County Sheriffs in support of the bills. This will be necessary in order to help pass the bill in the House of Representatives and then override an anticipated veto from Leftist Democrat governor Josh Stein.

Seems like the thing just wrote itself…:-)

Attention NC Gun Owners

Pass Constitutional Carry Now in North Carolina [More]

You’re not gonna let some Yankee from Ohio care more about it than you do, are you?

Funny thing about Google, and I don’t mean “ha ha” funny: Search for “Grassroots North Carolina” and good luck finding the gun group’s website. I noticed a similar phenomenon the other day when I put in the title of a recent AmmoLand article.

By suppressing our work, they suppress our political action.

Their sucking up to Trump has to do more than just stoke the guy’s ego. A “Second Amendment President” would be calling them out on algorithms that discriminate against one of his core constituencies.

But back to the resason for this post: Sign GRNC’s petition.

GRNC 2024 Candidate Evaluations

This guide estimates where candidates stand on gun issues by comparing their views with those of a control group of gun owners. As noted below, a “4-STAR” candidate agrees with the control group on at least 90% of gun issues, a 3-STAR agrees on least 80%, a 2-STAR on at least 70%, a 1-STAR on at least 60%, and a 0-STAR candidate agrees on less than 60% of gun issues. [More]

It’s a place to start and will no doubt be “single issue” strong.

I’d like to see the criteria and if “the greatest threat” is considered.

What excuse could a North Carolina gun owner who’s not a Democrat Fudd have to not do this? Or to take a moment and notify others?

If you’re from there, use this as a guide and do your own due diligence.

Solving the ‘Red Book’ Problem

Rather than grousing about the cost of red books, the correct solution is to seek legislative redress from the General Assembly by allocating funding for the program. [More]

Me, I’d just get rid of permits.

But you need them for reciprocity to carry in other states?

Like I said, I’d just get rid of permits.
