NC: 'These rights are under attack.' Cheers and applause greet Rockingham vote to become 'Second Amendment Constitutional Protection County.'

 

With a population of about 92,000, the rural county has already granted 7,800 conceal carry permits to gun owners and Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page told commissioners on Monday night that his goal is to reach 10,000 such permits.

24 out of 100 counties so far. 

 Rockingham County Board of Commissioners Chairman Kevin Berger consulted with his father, North Carolina Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, as he prepared a resolution to make the county a so-called Second Amendment Constitutional Protection County.

And on Monday night, before a packed room of supporters of the move, commissioners unanimously passed a resolution to adopt the largely symbolic title, joining at least 23 other N.C. counties that have adopted similar resolutions. The vote brought a crowded chamber to its feet with passionate cheers and applause.
