Carteret county passed tonight.
A little bit amused at the difference between the resident population in Carteret vs the vacation home owners and renter pop. I imagine there's a lot of Wake County and Chapel Hill 2nd home owners there in Emerald Isle.
I find it interesting that some Brunswick County NAACP people objected to the resolution that was supportive of the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms since some of the early gun control laws were specifically designed to keep arms out of the hands of that portion of the population.
Burke passed 5-0... turn us green, please-
Woo hoo Moore county turned green on the map tonight!
This is great and all with helping prevent further infringement on the 2A but......
Pretty sure I'll still get hemmed up for carrying concealed without the states approval in all those green counties, among other things.
Anybody else feel it's kind of a joke or half hearted?
I used to be a "member" of both and there are many supporters in both groups.Very nice. I was afraid the horse & golf crowd would screw things up for y'all.
Anyone hear anything about Granville county? I know there was a petition which I signed, and thought it was to be presented on the 17th, but did a search and can't find any reference to it or minutes of the meeting.
Woo hoo Moore county turned green on the map tonight!
On the above map there are 33 counties that are not green, there are 9 that I'm pretty sure will not vote for 2A, so what are the others waiting for? 91 out of 100 would not be bad. Not a betting guy but it would be a cold day in hell before the lefties in RTP, Guilford, Mech and the Buncombe anties would left 2A pass there.
Chatham might if we can get rid of those damned communists.Do Guilford and Chatham counties stand any chance?
Chatham might if we can get rid of those damned communists.
