NC: Firearms Laws Update in Declared State of Emergencies

Via Cousin John

Prior to 2012, during a declared state of emergency, several General Statutes allowed restrictions and prohibitions to be imposed on the “possession, transportation, sale, purchase, storage and use of dangerous weapons and substances, and gasoline.” “Dangerous weapons” included firearms such as handguns, rifles, and shotguns.” Those General Statutes, as they applied to firearms, were held unconstitutional in the federal court case of Bateman v. Perdue, 881 F.Supp.2d 709 (2012).

As a result, the North Carolina General Assembly repealed those General Statutes and enacted the current statute [G.S. 166A-19.31] to address this issue, which became effective October 1, 2012.

    1. My AK has been cleared of virus and lies patiently by my bed waiting to be used.:)I also am awaiting patiently for the replacement for my stolen Saiga,a Mossberg 590M with an additional 20 round mag which should be fun. The first double stack 12 gauge, I believe.

  2. "Local governments can still impose restrictions on dangerous weapons such as explosives, incendiary devices, and radioactive materials and devices, but cannot impose restrictions on lawfully possessed handguns, rifles, and shotguns. For example, if an individual is carrying a concealed handgun with a valid concealed carry permit during a declared state of emergency under which a dangerous weapons prohibition has been imposed, the local prohibition would not apply to this individual’s lawful possession of a concealed handgun."

    Of course that doesn't mean Barney Fife actually knows or respects the law and won't kill you while trying to take it from you.

    Y'all have a nice day.

  3. Not perfect. But it's lot's better than the States of California, New York, New Jersey and other Liberal controlled bastions offer the peasants.
