GRNC Update 1-11-12: Victory in Summerfield – Blowing Rock Shame

Victory in Summerfield
The Summerfield Town Council voted unanimously to repeal the town’s ban on discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of an occupied dwelling without the consent of those inside. They will instead default back to the Guilford County ordinance which sets the limit at 150 yards. Thanks to all who turned out to support them.

Freedom Betrayed in Blowing Rock

Unfortunately, the Blowing Rock Town Council sided with anti-gun hysteria over your safety in city parks. They passed on the opportunity to make their parks safer from criminals and instead voted to adopt the proposed ordinance banning guns in selected areas by a 3 to 2 vote.

 

At the meeting there were about 175 in attendance with 27 speakers that were about evenly divided on the issue. Unfortunately of the antis, mostly all were BR residents. Those voting against freedom appeared to be afraid of their anti-gun constituents. However; two council members, Tommy Klutz and Dan Phillips were staunchly on our side. We extend our gratitude for their principled stand.
