As North Carolina legislators move to close public access to firearm permits, some sheriffs are already refusing to hand over the records.
Following a public showdown with the sheriff in Cherokee County, a local newspaper editor quit last week after his records request which was denied made him the target of death threats. The county has the states highest rate of concealed-handgun permits.

They may not want their tots to come to my abode because I may have guns. But they will be the first to come for pool swims in summer and there is electricity, gas, gasoline, chainsaws. knives, ropes and a myriad of other deadly items around the house.
Oh, I almost forgot the deadly golf clubs,ie, Martha Moxley. The PGA may be like the NRA.

I wish they’d exhibit the same ferocity at publishing the names and addresses of those receiving WIK, Welfare, and Foodstamp payments. Maybe it would make the newspaper edition to expensive to print.
We are WINNING!
more than 200 of the 240,000 concealed-handgun permit holders at that time had been convicted of gun- or weapon-related felonies or misdemeanors in the previous five years.
Those "felons", probably very few of the total, should have all their rights restored after doing their time. If they are unsafe or still a threat, simply don't let them out.

Indeed we are and I'd like to give a small amount of credit to the many democrat gun owners who see the B.S. for what it is. It would be a tougher fight if only conservatives were fighting it.
Like when Bush tried to push "immigration reform" down our throat. The general public rebelled.
“Lock em up.”
Locking Democraps up in a prison is likely to be considered cruel and unusual punishment in that prisoners usually and customarily are imprisoned with merely criminals - not the walking evil that is a Democrap.
The 2nd amendment is just as important as the first
The 2nd Amendment protects the 1st.

Fair point. Wouldn’t be the first time conservatives were smeared by a lefty pretending to be a conservative.
“the records let parents can learn whether a neighbor has guns before allowing their children to play there.”
They’re just proving they don’t have an editor.
