Thanks to the hard work of GRNC supporters like you, a new pro-gun law goes into effect today. Also, you have scored two victories in the fight against WRAL’s misleading anti-gun reporting …
Great news! North Carolina gun owners don’t have to wait until December 25th to receive outstanding gifts. It’s December 1st and there is already some great stuff under the tree.
Provisions of HB562 Take Effect Today
Beginning today, December 1, 2015, NC Sheriffs will no longer be able to so easily deny pistol permits to citizens because the sheriff may think the citizen is not of “good moral character.” Yes, that little gem is actually written into the statute for issuing pistol permits and is, in fact, a throwback to the Jim Crow era. Going forward, a sheriff cannot use minor, non-disqualifying events, from further than five years back in an applicant’s history, to disqualify the otherwise qualified citizen from receiving a permit. This change is due to provisions from HB562 which are taking effect today.
WRAL Pays the Price
As you know, WRAL-TV recently broadcast an anti-gun hit piece. Theirpiece, which broadcast untruths about obtaining NFA weapons, was entirely misleading. In fact, a lawyer who was interviewed for the piece specifically complained afterwards that WRAL had taken his words out of context, and the information that he had given the reporter.
