"State of emergency declared in North Carolina," the WECT News 6 headline informs us. "Governor Bev Perdue has declared a State of Emergency for North Carolina in anticipation of Hurricane Earl's arrival." From blogger John Jacob H:
"Upon Governor Beverly Perdue’s declaration of a State Of Emergency on September 1, 2010 Dove Hunters, Concealed Carry Handgun Licensees, Target Shooters and all other gunowners cannot possess, transport or use firearms off their personal property as per N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-288.7"
Here's what the statute says...
But time's up for North Carolina gun owners. They can either obey the law, and go defenseless if they have to leave their homes, or just say the hell with stupid, evil anti-defense edicts and take their chances they won't be caught and punished--providing they survive their encounter with the "authorities".
Government, of course, as usual, has things exactly Bizarro-World backwards. It's when the security of a free state is imperiled that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is most necessary.
What an outrageous choice to force a supposedly free human being to make. Especially when we've seen what can happen when unarmed people are caught trying to get to safety by the "only ones" who can "legally" bear arms in an emergency.
As I asked when commenting on that atrocity:
"If you were trying to get to safety with your loved ones and had to make your way through a no man's land populated by looting predators and worse, would you go defenseless?"
Well, would you? Even if you lived in North Carolina?...
These orders came from Janet Napalatano and the DHS, which came from Obama.
What a difference a state makes.
Here in Texas with Rita (2005) and Ike (2008) the police/sheriff let everybody know in advance to do what you had to do to protect yourself and your property.
Very few problems. One guy got shot (too bad the sob lived) trying to rob his neighbors place (there’s a nice neighbor for ya). Sheriff dept. didn’t even waste his time writing up a report. Just told the guy to come in to the sheriffs dept. when he found the time.
I'll find out here in a little bit. Going out and target practice. My 44mag is pretty loud. Hard to coverup. Will let you know.
It makes one realize how darned close we are to "civil disobedience" ... I'm thinking (what would I do here) ... i think I know fairly clearly.
Whoever issued the order is a total idiot. There isn’t even any RAIN, let alone a hurricane emergency anywhere but the coastal area. This is a feeble attempt at a gun grab in a state where every able bodied male gun owner is a member of the state militia.
Gov Beverly Purdue, NC publishes a newsletter letting everyone know how popular she is with Obama Admin, and how much money she is able to get, and all her other accomplishments. She is very liberal, and has made numerous changes in NC, just like other liberal governors in other states. It will be like the federal government, if Obama is dethroned....it will take years to get the state out of debt.......
Insanity.
Hey I have done 2 out 3 of those things today (possessed, transported) yesterday and today and will continue tomorrow.
NC is an unusual state, RATS ci=ontrol everything and hate to say this, but most just go along.
My daughter is a US Marine who lives just across the border in Virginia. Haven’t heard any similar statement from the Virginia authorities.
Of course, one thing I have learnd (never having been a Marine) is that they stick together..
Good luck enforcing that!
“It takes two to catch me, cause I'm gunna deny it”
arghhh...”learned”
arghhh...”learned”
I am a resident of North Carolina...when the “stimulus bill” sent millions here to the state she funneled the money to her friends over in New Bern. She is as corrupt as the idiot she replaced, also a DemocRAT.
Idiocy.
Might as well put out the “looters welcome” sign.
Eaker.. do you still have pics of that?
No but I -can- say the shorter version.
(I’m lazy).......;)
