EXCERPT-
"North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue must be a big fan of Rahm Emmanuel. Because she took his advice of "never letting a crisis go to waste" by signing Executive Order 62. This "order" prevents gun carry permit holders, hunters, and lawful citizens from carrying a firearm on their person outside of their home. Citizens of North Carolina are also not allowed to transport firearms within their private vehicles. Those citizens who choose civil disobedience and to affirm their natural right of self-defense face a Class 1 Misdemeanor charge, and up to 120 days in jail."

They do not have to be, they are codified in State law, and the Legislature and Governor, having been confronted with this in the past, have refused to lift a finger to fix it:


North Carolina governor suspends gun rights

...

At issue is N.C. General Statute 14-288.7, which prohibits transporting a “dangerous weapon” during a state of emergency:

§ 14 288.7. Transporting dangerous weapon or substance during emergency; possessing off premises; exceptions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is unlawful for any person to transport or possess off his own premises any dangerous weapon or substance in any area:
(1) In which a declared state of emergency exists; or
(2) Within the immediate vicinity of which a riot is occurring.
(b) This section does not apply to persons exempted from the provisions of G.S. 14 269 with respect to any activities lawfully engaged in while carrying out their duties.
(c) Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (1969, c. 869, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 192; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)

According to § 14 288.1 (10), a state of emergency exists “whenever, during times of public crisis, disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public emergency, public safety authorities are unable to maintain public order or afford adequate protection for lives or property, or whenever the occurrence of any such condition is imminent.”

I don't agree with this E.O., obviously, but it doesn't sound like the "gun grab" that is depicted in the title. I see nothing that says that guns are going to be collected, as long as they stay in the home.

The OP title is misleading. but this has been a pressing issue through the last 4 or 5 states of emergency that I know of. I'm sure it's bee going on longer than that, but it's been gaining much more attention of late.

Aye, but here's hoping most of the miscreants are ridden out on the rail before I even get there ;)
