GRNC Alert 3-18-2013: Support Pro-Gun Bills in NC Legislature!

Pro-Gun Bills Introduced to Senate…

With help from GRNC, NC Senator Jeff Tarte (R-Mecklenburg, GRNC-****) will introduce two very promising pieces of pro-gun legislation.

“Enabling Heroes Act”:

•    Institutes “Constitutional Carry” (permitless concealed carry), as Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming have done, while keeping the concealed handgun permit system intact to permit carrying in more sensitive places such as educational properties and restaurants.

•    Expands concealed carry to educational property for all permit-holders.

•    Narrows the definition of “educational property” to exclude property owned by education systems but not used primarily for education.

•    Exempts non-participants from current gun bans of extracurricular, off-campus school activities (i.e. making felons of otherwise lawful permittees eating at McDonalds when a class field trip stops in for lunch).

“Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act“:

•    Expands concealed carry into restaurants, parades, funerals and assemblies of people for which admission is charged.

•    Enables employees with concealed handgun permits to keep firearms in locked vehicles at places of employment.

We need to help put these bills on the path to passage into law. What the legislation needs now are co-sponsors. Let’s let our Senators know we expect them to help promote freedom!

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

Email your NC Senator. Tell them to support freedom by co-sponsoring both the “Enabling Heroes Act of 2013” and “Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act”.

Suggested Subject: “Co-Sponsor Pro-Second Amendment Bills” 

Dear Senator:

As a law-abiding North Carolina gun owner I urge you to demonstrate your support for my Second Amendment rights by cosponsoring two pro-freedom bills recently introduced by Senator Jeff Tarte.

The first, “Enabling Heroes Act of 2013” will: (1) Institute “Constitutional Carry” while keeping the concealed handgun permit system intact to permit carrying in more sensitive places such as educational properties and restaurants; (2) Expand concealed carry to educational property for all permit-holders; (3)

Narrow the definition of “educational property” to exclude property owned by education systems but not used primarily for education; (4) Exempt non-participants from current gun bans of extracurricular, off-campus school activities (i.e. making felons of otherwise lawful permittees eating at McDonalds when a class field trip stops in for lunch).

This legislation is critical to eliminate murderous “Gun Free Schools Zones” that have been targeted by insane mass-murders bent on killing defenseless children. Statistics show that where citizens are able to adequately defend themselves with firearms are the safest places in our society.

The second, “Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act“ will: (1) Expand concealed carry into restaurants, parades, funerals and assemblies of people for which admission is charged; (2) Enable employees with concealed handgun permits to keep firearms in locked vehicles at places of employment.

This law is needed to eliminate obsolete prohibitions no longer relevant to our now “Shall-Issue” system of lawful concealed carry.

Again, as my Senator, I strongly urge you to co-sponsor and vote in favor of these bills.

Sincerely,
