The 2nd ammedment to the Federal constitution has no ligitimate baring on the State of North Carolina.

The legitimate article in question is Article 1 Section 30 of the North Carolina State Constitution:

“Sec. 30. Militia and the right to bear arms.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing herein shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the General Assembly from enacting penal statutes against that practice.”

Yes, it does. The McDonald decision vs. Chicago fully incorporated the 2nd Amendment as pertaining to state laws.

From the article

the court finds that the statutes at issue here are subject to strict scrutiny…While the bans imposed pursuant to these statutes may be limited in duration, it cannot be overlooked that the statutes strip peaceable, law abiding citizens of the right to arm themselves in defense of hearth and home, striking at the very core of the Second Amendment.”

From your post

Maybe you should get ahold of that judge and correct him. I'm sure an armchir expert or your caliber would cause him to change his tune.
