We are thankful to Rep Kidwell for his sponsorship and support in this pursuit. Additional sponsors for HB 5 are Reps. Jay Adams (R-Catawba), Ben Moss
 (R-Moore, Richmond) and freshman Brian Echevarria (R-Cabarrus).

                                                        Dear Representative:  
                                                         
                                                        I am very grateful for the support we’ve received from several members of the NC House regarding HB 5, and today, I am contacting you to encourage you to stand with other Republicans in the House in support of this permit-less (or “constitutional”) carry bill.  
                                                         
                                                        Twenty-nine states in the U.S. have already adopted constitutional carry, with none of the dire predictions coming to fruition. In fact, the Crime Prevention Research Center finds a significant reduction in violent crime among states which adopt permitless carry. 
                                                         
                                                        North Carolina Republicans are now lagging their counterparts in other states. Accordingly, I strongly urge you to help bring constitutional carry to a prompt committee hearing, to a floor vote, and that you vote AYE. 
                                                         
                                                        I will be monitoring your actions through Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.

                                                        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!
