This opposition
reportedly derives from the misguided desire of a minority of NC Sheriffs to maintain the Jim Crow-era pistol permit system.
Unfortunately, the few opposed to HB 937
form a cabal in control of political positions taken by NCSA.
These public servants have heard your voices, but the power and money associated with
discriminatory and obsolete pistol permit system is too tempting. These few greedy Sheriffs have doubled-down on opposition.
This
opposition rises to the level that
they are willing to see other provisions fail to preserve their
discriminatory power and greed for application fees. This means NC
gun-owners will
lose restaurant carry, car storage of handguns on educational property,
elimination of the parade/admission fee ban, and fixing municipal abuse
of
parks carry.
We
have
worked far too hard for far too long to lose this battle due to a few
Sheriffs’ hunger for power to deny Second Amendment rights without
due process, and greed for slush funds derived from application fees.
The General Assembly clock is ticking. We need to get the NC House to concur with the
Senate’s version of HB 937, and insist the Governor sign it despite selfish objections of a few shortsighted Sheriffs.
