Forsyth Commissioners will decide whether or not to enact gun bans at their next meeting, Monday, February 13th.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scheduled vote will either promote the Second Amendment or trample upon it. This is your opportunity to be heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commissioner Bill Whiteheart has spoken out against this ban, but needs help. It appears that most of the Republican Commissioners support lawful carry, we need to establish a presence at this meeting to ensure they don’t develop cold feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under HB 650 that went into effect Dec. 1, only very narrowly defined “recreation areas” may be posted. Like some other counties, Forsyth is considering expanding this definition to draconian proportions. One version would restrict all “recreational facilities, which includes park buildings and their appurtenant premises, playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools, and athletic facilities”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, there is an attempt to ban carry in Tanglewood as alcohol may be sold and consumed during special events. The Commissioners need to understand that pursuant to N.C.G.S 14-269.3 any prohibition against conceal carry must follow the letter of the law and only be in effect during such special events.<\/span><\/p>\n
