We need to get behind these bills to push for co-sponsorship<\/strong><\/span>
 
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

There are two exciting bills that have been drafted and will be soon submitted for consideration by the NC House. The more co-sponsors these bills have, the better their chances of passing are.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Enabling Patriots Act<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The first, entitled, \u201cThe Enabling Patriots Act<\/strong><\/span>\u201d is courageously sponsored by Representative Larry Pittman (R, Cabarrus, GRNC-***)<\/a>. It will effectively eliminate many of the current \u201cGun Free Zones\u201d, including schools, that have predictably become repeated targets of insane \u201cGlory Killers\u201d competing for media fame and body counts (of victims made defenseless by law).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Enabling Patriots Act will (among other things):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Narrow the definition of “educational property”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Exempt non-participants from the current gun ban at off-campus extracurricular events.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Expand concealed carry onto educational property for all permit-holders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Expand concealed carry into restaurants and assemblies of people for which admission is charged.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Expand concealed carry to parades and funerals.<\/span><\/p>\n

This bill will do much to eliminate unconstitutional restrictions of concealed carry. It will allow law-abiding North Carolinians to defend kids in school, as well as themselves and families in many areas that are currently dangerous \u201cGun Free Zones\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is excellent legislation that will likely be targeted by gun control extremists that don’t trust their fellow citizens to lawfully bear arms. We need to do all we can to promote this bill and get our representatives behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Preemption Affirmation Act<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This important bill is sponsored by Representative Mark Brody (R, Anson, Union, GRNC-***)<\/a>. It will put “teeth” into statewide firearms preemption that has been badly abused by NC municipalities, like Greenville, NC that classifies a dog park as a \u201cplayground\u201d in order to unlawfully ban carry.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Impose a $5,000 civil penalty on any public official who knowingly and willingly violates preemption (i.e. passes an ordinance or regulation in violation of state law).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Allows a person or organization negatively impacted by such a regulation to recover damages up to $100,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Prevents public funds from being used to defend or reimburse the unlawful conduct above.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022    Help GRNC to defend YOUR rights by joining and or contributing HERE<\/a> or at: http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/join-grnc\/contribute<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Similar legislation has successfully prevented Florida municipalities from cynically avoiding compliance with state law.<\/span><\/p>\n

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!<\/strong>
<\/span> 
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2022    Contact your NC Representative. Ask them to co-sponsor both the \u201cThe Enabling Patriots Act\u201d and \u201cThe Preemption Affirmation Act\u201d.<\/span>

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

Suggested Subject: “Please Co-Sponsor Pro-Freedom Bills<\/strong>”  <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Representative:<\/span><\/p>\n

As your constituent I ask that you co-sponsor two pro-freedom bills soon to be introduced to the NC House.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first, entitled, \u201cThe Enabling Patriots Act\u201d will (among other things):<\/span><\/p>\n

Narrow the definition of “educational property”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exempt non-participants from the current gun ban at off-campus extracurricular events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expand concealed carry onto educational property for all permit-holders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expand concealed carry into restaurants and assemblies of people for which admission is charged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expand concealed carry to parades and funerals.<\/span><\/p>\n

This bill will do much to eliminate unconstitutional restrictions of concealed carry. It will allow law-abiding North Carolinians to defend kids in school, as well as themselves and families in many areas that are currently dangerous \u201cGun Free Zones\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second is, \u201cThe Preemption Affirmation Act\u201d. This bill will:<\/span><\/p>\n

Impose a $5,000 civil penalty on any public official who knowingly and willingly violates preemption (i.e. passes an ordinance or regulation in violation of state law).<\/span><\/p>\n

Allow a person or organization negatively impacted by such a regulation to recover damages up to $100,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevent public funds from being used to defend or reimburse the unlawful conduct above.<\/span><\/p>\n

This law is needed due to municipalities avoiding compliance with state law. Similar legislation has successfully prevented Florida municipalities from similar skirting of state preemption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Respectfully,    <\/span><\/p>\n
