Unfortunately, it appears that a few of the commissioners  (Manning, Massey &amp;&nbsp;Smith) are still scheming to sneak an anti-gun ordinance through while their constituents are distracted by holiday  travel and Christmas shopping. This is certainly not in the spirit of  the holidays. <\/p>\n<p> Last week, GRNC informed its supporters that the Alamance  County Commissioners were considering an ordinance to enact a total gun  ban in county buildings by banning open carry (concealed carry is already  banned).&nbsp; Unfortunately, after hearing from gun owners, rather than  doing the right thing, some of the commissioners apparently continue to seriously  consider a gun ban, and they are planning a vote on such an ordinance  this Monday morning. <\/p>\n<p> <strong>Give Thanks by Standing Up for Your Rights<\/strong><br \/> There is no time more appropriate  than Thanksgiving to reflect on the fact that we live in a place where  our Natural rights are recognized and protected.  What better way to give thanks for being blessed in this way than to stand up for those rights? Please contact the County  Commissioners and let them know that you will not tolerate an  infringement on the gun rights of every citizen in Alamance County just because of the  prejudices of a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" _mce_style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">Below  you will find suggested text for an e-mail that you can send to the County  Commissioners who are believed to still be supporting the gun ban.
