At the last minute HB 937,
“Amend Various Firearm Laws” was
pulled from the House schedule and not voted on. The reason for this
unexpected rescheduling is not, as North Carolinians "Against Gun
Violence" would have you believe, due to gun control input. At least as
stated by leadership, it was due to a delayed request for a fiscal note
to be attached to the bill. There is, however, a chance that it was
delayed due to UNC opposition listed below.
This bill is
critical for NC gun owners and contains restaurant carry, provisions for guns in locked vehicles on college campuses,
carry in assemblies for which admission is charged, and a "cleanup" of parks carry language.
It has already raised the hackles of citizen disarmament
proponents, including UNC President Tom Ross, who apparently doesn’t trust our state’s brightest young men and women with the means
to effectively defend themselves.
We need to increase the heat
on the NC House to ensure that this bill is both voted on and
passed without the weakening amendments that will be proposed by
extremists who want North Carolinians disarmed. MAKE SURE to participate
in this
email effort – the stakes are high and we need full participation to drive our message home!
