Sorry Pal you cannot do it.

[Gondring]

It’s Constitutional, as the Founding Fathers saw it.

[eyedigress]

The law is a catch-all, but it does not supersede 2A and the right to self-defense.

[Crimson Elephant]

This is called conditioning. Slowly everyone “gets used” to suspension of rights during “natural disasters”..even before they are..sort of PRE crime weather.

Drip drip drip.

[budwiesest]

Good catch. What about abortions that are guaranteed by the constitution? Will they suspend those too?

I can't imagine people shooting one-another over the last loaf of bread or roll of toilet paper. At least this gives bad-guys a green light to committ crimes against persons. Idiots.

[unkus]

It also depends of the cops are being good guys or bad guys. For example, in New Orleans, at least some of the cops were decidedly on the bad guy side (think that bridge).

You’re exactly right. But over in Miss., that didn’t occur. New Orleans had more bad guys, or potentially bad guys, than good guys.

[KoRn]

WTF Alert!!!!

Someone should take this into Federal court, and I mean TONIGHT!

But the vast majority on our side won’t fall for the drip drip drip.

[Bean Counter]

Bullshit.

IF this is going on in North Carolina, it is happening because the Legislature there wants it that way, which means that the voters who put those people in the Legislature want it that way.

If you live there and don’t like it, you have my sympathy. If you voted in the Legislators who did this on your behalf, I really don’t want to hear any of you bitch. If you don’t like it, work harder next time and don’t lose the election.

Sorry if you don’t like that, but it isn’t my job to tell you what you want to hear. Someone must tell you what you NEED to hear...

[GunsAndBibles]

So I assume that they will also be able to quarter soldiers in private homes, conduct warrentless searches and seize property without due process.

Aside from that soldier-quartering stuff, I'm pretty sure they can, yeah. At least judging from observation.

I had that same thought just after I hit the post button

[Texas Fossil]

natural resources like tar and feathers?

Surely you jest? North Carolina Tar Heels (hee hee hee, my wife is one)

[jakerobins]

There are part of Western NC that I would not suggest they try and disarm......Watch out North Carolinians....

[Gondring]

§ 14‑288.7. Transporting dangerous weapon or substance during emergency; possessing off premises; exceptions.

[GunsAndBibles]

Someone should take this into Federal court, and I mean TONIGHT!

Lets see how fast the NRA picks up on this...

[Gondring]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the police will comply fully with § 14‑288.7, just like anyone else.

[Grams A]

Ridiculous. She needs to come to the Texas gulf area and see how you get ready for a hurricane evac. The first things you load are the guns, the ammo, the family Bible and your stash of cash. No way would Perry or any other Texas politician try to pull this stunt.

[The Cajun]

Stinking Rat governor doing Rat work. With all her state could be facing, the first thing she does is screw with the 2nd amendment, sorry witch.

[Gondring]

Oops..that wasn’t meant to be addressed to you.

[dbwz]

You would think that a state of emergency would be just the time you’d want to have your firearm(s).

I’m going to guess that most, if not all, states have this same provision. Sure would be interesting to find out.

[nutmeg]

My how the mighty North State has fallen....That said, NC demographics have really, really changed in the last 12 years.

You said it, ATLDiver. I think half the libs from my state of Connecticut moved to NC about 20-25 years ago. Sad to see this happen in one of our southern states...
