Plans open carry, park and recycling center bans...
The lengths repressive municipalities have gone in order to violate Second Amendment rights has been impressive to this point. Declaring lakes “swimming pools” and dog parks “playgrounds” demonstrates the level to which anti-freedom municipal leaders are willing to mislead in order to violate the rights of those they should be serving.
Lenoir
County is now demonstrating that it competes with the worst anti-gun
municipalities. It has drafted an ordinance proposing to treat its
recycling centers as if they were “county buildings” and pronouncing the
lawful carriage of firearms as a “detrimental act” subject to nuisance
bans. Open carry will be prohibited on all county property via display
bans.
Citizens
with carry permits will be allowed to keep firearms in vehicles while
at recycling centers. Apparently they expect citizens to pull-over
before entering the dump, unholster and place handguns in a container -
all of which only serves increase handling of loaded weapons and is
inconsistent with a genuine desire to improve safety.
Lenoir’s
goal is clearly only to make exercising the right to bear arms as
inconvenient and difficult as they possibly can, which insults the goal
of State law to provide uniformity.
They
apparently don’t understand they cannot ban concealed carry in
recycling centers. State law clearly prohibits bans outside of very
narrowly-defined areas that include only buildings and parks. Claiming a
right to regulate lawful carry as “detrimental act” clearly violates
State preemption, and is nonsensical as carrying firearms is
specifically permitted under State law.
Lenoir’s proposed ordinances were discovered by vigilant GRNC supporters and will be voted on during the Monday, February 17 commissioner’s meeting.
Action, please
