                                                        HB5 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) appears to be stalled in the House Rules Committee. It is unclear why this bill has not been added to the calendar, but whatever the reason, House leaders allowing this bill to sit idle is not going to bring North Carolina up to the modern standard on gun rights in the United States.

                                                        Perhaps the Rules Committee will be looking at HB5 soon, but rather than wonder and hope, it would be best if gun owners were to reach out to key House leaders to remind them that they’ve missed something. After all, the Senate’s Constitutional Carry bill moved on consecutive days, while the House bill has not. House leadership can definitely do better.

 and Majority Leader Brenden Jones. Surely, with a little nudge, they’ll get HB5 on the House Rules Committee calendar as soon as possible.

                                                        Dear Representative: 
                                                          
                                                        It has come to my attention that HB5 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) is not yet on House Rules Committee’s calendar. A stalled HB5 would be a great disappointment to gun voters like me, and I can only hope that this was an accidental oversight. Perhaps this reminder is all it will take to get this bill moving through Rules in the coming week.  
                                                         
                                                        Representative, I’ll point out that the Senate moved Constitutional Carry on consecutive days, and there is no reason HB5 cannot be moved quickly as well. Therefore, I ask that you utilize your position in leadership to make sure this important bill gets back on track, so our State can catch up with the majority of the nation on recognizing Constitutional gun rights.  
                                                         
                                                        I will be monitoring your actions on this important matter through Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts. 
                                                          
                                                        Respectfully,

                                                        We Need Alert Writers 
                                                        In order to continue to offer these critical email alerts in a timely and effective fashion, GRNC needs more alert writers. If you have general writing ability, basic computer skills, a desire to defend the Bill of Rights, and a few hours a week, GRNC would love to bring you on board as an important member of our writing team. Note that a few hours a week, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more, is a small tradeoff for the immense satisfaction you’ll feel after you have direct involvement in killing anti-gun bills, expanding gun rights, and stopping short the political careers of gun-grabbing legislators.  
                                                         
                                                        Contact Us 
                                                        Please, we need you. If you feel at all called to pitch in and defend the Second Amendment, there is nothing better you could do than volunteer for North Carolina’s most effective, no-compromise gun rights organization, Grass Roots North Carolina. If interested, we’d love to hear from you, please email: alertwriter@grnc.org with the subject line: “Alert Writer Inquiry.” Thanks!

                                                         Ron is a ferocious supporter of the Second Amendment. He has twice sued Sheriff Garry McFadden on behalf of GRNC for his unconstitutional treatment of gun permitting in Mecklenburg County. Ron is a lifetime member of GRNC, and he is licensed to practice in all NC State and Federal Courts. He has helped people all over the state to restore their gun rights, and he frequently represents individuals on appeal for denial of a concealed handgun permit. Ron has proven that he is the “go-to” guy when it comes to gun rights in North Carolina. If you are looking to restore your gun rights after a felony conviction, or involuntary commitment, or you have been wrongly denied a concealed handgun permit or firearm purchase, Ron can help!
