Grass Roots North Carolina Sends Must-Read Letters to NC Senate & House Leaders

On January 1, 2023, F. Paul Valone, President of Grass Roots North Carolina (GRNC) sent duplicate open letters to the North Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and Tim Moore, Speaker of the House. The letters are formal open letters, also sent to the GRNC mailing list. This correspondent is on the list and received both letters.

Fair disclosure: I know F. Paul Valone and have corresponded with him. We have met at national Gun Rights Policy Conferences. I wrote a review of Rules for Anti-Radicals, published on AmmoLand News.

AmmoLand News contributor Paul Valone is a serious thinker about politics, political organizations, political tactics, and political power. The letters reflect this long-term thinking and decades of practical experience.

They are things of beauty. Nicolo Machiavelli would be pleased.

The letters, with studied politeness, respect for forms, and subtlety, remind the North Carolina legislature of the political power and reputation of GRNC. AmmoLand readers deserve to see how a master at using a political activist group to achieve political ends communicates to the political leadership and everyone else.

The Honorable Tim Moore, Speaker

West Jones Street, Room 2304

Raleigh, NC 27601

Dear Speaker Moore:

I hope you have been well. On this first day of a New Year so bright with potential, please accept my congratulations on achieving a near-supermajority in the North Carolina House.

Realizing the competing interests you face, when the 2023-2024 session of the NC General Assembly convenes, I strongly urge you to consider the interests of
Second Amendment volunteers and voters who worked tirelessly to create a Republican majority capable of over-riding Governor Roy Cooper’s many gun-related vetoes.

Even beyond GRNC’s “Remember in November” voter education project which, in the 2022 elections, distributed 150,000 voter guides, including 120,000 mailed directly to gun-owning voters, the GRNC Political Victory Fund

Paul Valone studies and applies political power politics.

He is the head of Grass Roots North Carolina.

Not sure what will get done, but Sheriffs across the political spectrum will oppose “Constitutional Carry” and the repeal of purchase permits. Both bring money into the Sheriffs office. There is a large industry created for conceal carry classes, we have dozens in our county alone. Ranges make good money off the classes as well.

We are already an open carry state so I would like to see some adjustment to that law making it easier to open carry in vehicles. It can be confusing as to what is considered concealed and what is open in a vehicle.

Captain Paul Valone is an American hero. I know him - 37 years ago we flew together at Piedmont Airlines. Here in NC, anyone with any 2A interests knows his name.

He’s becoming a national treasure. He wrote a very informative book several years ago, and I have a copy, Rules For Anti-Radicals, F. Paul Valone. If you are a FREEPER, you need this book. Hell, every sane patriot, freedom loving American needs this book.
