Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act<\/strong><\/span>
 
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

Senate bill would remove certain restrictions for CHP holders…<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, Senator Jeff Tarte<\/a> (R-Meckenburg, GRNC ****) along with Sens Andrew Brock<\/a> (R-Davie, Iredell, Rowan, GRNC ****) and Shirley Randleman<\/a> (R-Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, GRNC ****) became the primary sponsors for SB 408<\/a>, the \u201cLawful Citizens Self Protection Act\u201d. The bill would expand areas in which lawful Concealed Handgun Permit holders may carry or keep firearms for self protection. The bill makes changes primarily to G.S. 14-269.3 which currently restricts all guns from being carried in establishments where alcohol is sold and consumed, and G.S. 14-277.2(c) which restricts all forms of carry at parades, picket lines, funeral processions and demonstrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another change within SB 408 establishes the legality of CHP holders to lawfully keep and secure their firearms in locked vehicles at their places of work. The bill would prevent business owners from establishing policies which would prevent CHP holders from locking their weapons in their vehicles while they are at work, enhancing their ability to protect themselves if the need arises.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRNC applauds SB 408’s sponsors, Sens. Jeff Tarte, Andrew Brock and Shirley Randleman for boldly stepping up for the rights of gun owners across North Carolina. This bill, along with others introduced in the past few weeks, will greatly enhance all of our abilities to legally defend ourselves in the case of an ever-growing public threat. We urge you to contact the NC Senate Leadership and your State Senator and let them know that you expect their full support in passing SB 408 in short order.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!<\/strong>

<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2022    Immediately email and call your NC state Senator<\/strong><\/span> and ask them to not only support SB 408 with their vote, but also to ask Senate leadership to give it an expeditious committee hearing. Find contact information for your NC state senator, CLICK HERE<\/a> or go to: http:\/\/www.ncleg.net\/representation\/WhoRepresentsMe.aspx<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Thank Senator Tarte for his leadership:<\/strong><\/span> Rarely do freshmen stand up so boldly for gun rights. Those who do should receive the recognition they deserve. Contact Sen. Tarte at: jeff.tarte@ncleg.net<\/span><\/p>\n

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE    <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Suggested Subject: “Support SB 408, Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act!<\/strong>”  <\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Senator ________:<\/span><\/p>\n

Please support Senate Bill 408, the “Lawful Citizens Self Protection Act”, not only by giving it your vote on the Senate floor, but by contacting Senate leadership to ask for an expeditious hearing. The bill would expand our concealed handgun law into establishments where our families visit every day, as well as providing a resource of protection at our places of employment. Despite predictions of mayhem, states like Virginia which have adopted restaurant carry have exhibited virtually no problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since inception of our law in 1995, concealed handgun permit-holders have spent eighteen years proving themselves sane, sober and law-abiding. With violence creeping into our schools at an alarming rate, we must have the ability to protect our children from further tragic events. While law abiding citizens stand by virtually helpless, our children are being slaughtered. We must have the ability to protect ourselves and our families. I will be monitoring action on this bill via Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Respectfully,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
