I need to find the Governor's full proclamation to see if i can still carry.
Good point, I haven't thought about that.
I'm so glad I don't live in NC anymore. Unfortunately I still visit a bit since our families are there. Isn't a state of emergency when you really need to arm yourself? There's chaos, emergency personnel are tied up with so many issues, perhaps no power, no phones, etc. That's just counter-intuitive.
Your right to carry during this type state of emergency is not affected. This question has come up in the past and the governor specifically addressed it the last time.
But she has to address it in each proclamation. I haven't been able to find a copy of this one yet.e

I was thinking about this today actually. Good to hear that yall are still able to carry under this situation but it still sucks that the Gov. of NC can suspend your right to carry at all.
Mike, it's not the governor that is suspending our rights, it's the statute that our illustrious representatives made into law in years gone by that suspends our rights. At least the gov is trying to make it as close to right as possible until we get that statute thrown out.Quote:

AMEN "Sixto"...the phrase "shall not be infringed" has no "if", no "maybe", no "what if" or "what about" nor does it have an emergency clause. :nono:Quote:
