Issue To Be Decided at Next Commissioner's Meeting

You may remember that last month, after rigorous discussion and detailed examination of the issue, Rowan County wisely voted to repeal ALL carry restrictions in parks and county facilities. As a result, county properties and buildings are now open to lawful concealed carry. A similar proposal to eliminate all restrictions is now being considered by Lee County commissioners. This measure to rescind carry bans will be voted on during the next meeting to be held Monday, September 8th, at 6:00 PM. Your feedback and support are essential to encourage the commissioners, and remind them where law-abiding gun owners stand on this issue. See what you can do to help the passage of the new ordinances below.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

Email the Lee County Commissioners and encourage them to vote for the proposed changes as submitted. Below you’ll find a copy/paste e-mail list and a copy/paste message to send to them.

Attend the Lee County Commission Meeting. More than ever, we need a large turnout of gun rights supporters as the “gun banners” are aware of this vote and plan to turn out in force agitating against this expansion of gun rights. Here are the details:

Where:
Lee County Government Center, 106 Hillcrest Drive, Sanford, NC 27331
When:
Monday, September 8, 2014, 6 PM

I'm noticing that its "easier" (or appears easier) to fight for the privileges of those who possess a government permission slip, versus a natural or constitutional right. I think that's why GRNC does what it does. However, the door remains wide open for anyone willing to put their time and energy into an organization that fights for the RIGHTS of the people, all people. However, for the moment, there doesn't seem to be any takers on a state level who does that kind of work.

i believe, the good olde boy' gun toting citizens are so entrenched with GRNC whom they see 'representing' their interests, yet are truly unaware of the GRNC's agenda.
However, it would be a difficult, but not impossible sell.

IMHO to pull off a Bloomberg type coup of setting up a 'new grassroots organization' similarly like he did w/Moms and its quick organizational rise to fame & action would cost someone or group a gaggle of $$$$ and not sure the Tarheel gun toting citizens would respond as well as American did to Moms.

an example is SC's absence of any type of GR effort...that just is unbelievable.

i have been an active member for the GRNC for a few years now. i have been to shows and member seeking function. but i have been told not to show up at events open carrying. by high up officials.

I have full respect for the VCDL, they have actually stood up for the Open Carrier.

i still have a membership with them (GRNC), but i no longer go to their "gunshows".

I do wish there was a better gun rights group here in NC

I already have a missile in my pants .. I don't need to hide a handgun there too...open carry is my choice

Just can't be bothered to read all information about this, can you?

At first, I was guilty of the same thing and PO'd about the support for CC and no mention of the rest of us. Then I went to the county ordinances and found that OC is already permitted in those same places that GRNC was promoting CC. The ordinance prohibiting CC was enacted in 1995, right after GRNC got the state to institute the CHP program (ironic, right?). So, what GRNC was doing was getting a repeal of that ordinance to provide equal footing for those who prefer not to "show their stuff" in county facilities.

Thanks are due to the county commission for their action in this matter.

I don't know who told you that but it's not the majority opinion of the leadership. I OC at any event that it's legal to.
I can tell you that at the last OC dinner in Fayetteville, three of the dozen that showed up were GRNC leadership.
My personal desire is to see NC as a Constitutional carry state with CC for those that want reciprocity with other states.

This site while a website and not a grass roots organization, FIGHTS for rights, and has done a hell of a lot more than GRNC. GRNC leader PV made it very clear ON THIS site that he considers OC vile. Yet the members of GRNC do nothing about his agenda.

GRNC is not a gun rights organization, it is a lobby organization that sells privileges to the public for money. They are no different than the lobbyists in Washington.

Papa Bear is one of the few GRNC members who steps up to the plate and tells the truth.

I can assure you that this has been told to me in all levels of the organization, to what may considered to be the highest. I am in contact with some that think the policies are wrong. but they go along to get along. but there are also lots of them that their livelihoods depend on the pay 4 play privilege. if you are for gun carry you will not have an event at any place where rights are not respected.
barring demonstrations , i understand that there are places you are not allowed to have rights. but you do have a chose of weather you are there or not. picnics, dinners, shoots , thing like that
just like the TEA party here purposely holds meetings on school grounds, where we can't carry

going by what you say. we already have Constitutional carry here in NC, it is called open carry. what you want is to make a privilege into a not having to get a permission for it. have you ever thought of taking the money out of it? i think that would go a long way to your goals

Interesting statement. On the BOD we have retirees, a doctor, lawyer, truck driver, engineer, business owner, author, accountant, airline pilot, plant manager, software techs, IT types and a tv producer. No one whose livelihood depends on teaching CHP. Of the other 40 or so that have a role in the daily going ons, there is one. With your Mayberry location, you probably know him. The bee keeper.

Yes we have open carry - with restrictions. My idea of Constitutional carry is no restrictions.

The Truth · Sep 12, 2014

IMO Constitutional Carry is not open to interpretation. Constitutional Carry means you are free to carry any way you want, according to the rights guaranteed to you through the Constitution of the United States, period. No permission slip needed. This is the way it should be, and the way it was intended.

True, but not anywhere you want. Private property is not included except when approved by the owner of same.

True! I accidentally omitted the part about private property.

GRAPE, we will disagree, exactly what is "private property", if it is your residence and on invitation only. then yes you have the right to discriminate. just as if you didn't want a white or black, or Polynesian in your home
but if you open a open to the public licensed business then you do not have the right to discriminate

CRICKETDAD, I should know BEEKEEPER as i am also a bee keeper. but i don't think he lives in this area.

i OC because of the constitution. which means i can carry as long as i don't try to hide it. but please don't fight for a privilege and forget about your rights

again i ask have you tried to take the money out of P4P?

Of course, you are correct.

Let's not forget those that admit on the basis of membership.

[h=3]ANOTHER COUNTY CONSIDERS GUN FREEDOM
[/h]

Gun Freedom is Snowballing

Recently, Alamance, Cherokee, and Rowan County leaders all voted to repeal county restrictions on the lawful carry of firearms in their respective counties. In early October, Lee County is expected to finalize their vote for gun freedom as well. In fact, these counties were preceded by still more counties, Guilford and Mecklenburg, which have lifted all restrictions on concealed carry in their parks. It's refreshing to see all of these counties blaze a trail for gun freedom in North Carolina. The victories just keep on coming! What’s even better is that yet another county, Cabarrus, is considering the same path.

This is promising news, but a full repeal of carry restrictions in Cabarrus County is by no means in the bag. Although county leaders are considering a repeal of all restrictions, they may only go as far as lifting most restrictions on concealed carry in parks, which HB937 has actually required of them since October of last year. Merely complying with HB937, however, would be the bare minimum, and Cabarrus County citizens should expect more than the minimum from their public servants.

Encourage Cabarrus County Leaders
Obviously, the most reasonable path is a repeal of all carry ordinances currently restricting law-abiding citizens. Regulating lawful carry only disarms the peaceful and innocent, while empowering those who would prey upon them. This seems like common sense to most, but politicians don’t always vote based on common sense. If Cabarrus County is to continue the positive trend of gun freedom that is sweeping North Carolina, the County Commissioners will need your support. Below, see how you can quickly and easily send a message to the Cabarrus County Commissioners to encourage and embolden them to vote in favor of law-abiding gun owners. Also below, get details on the upcoming meeting of the County Commission so you can attend and support gun rights.
