A vote to open all county facilities to the lawful  concealed carry of handguns will express respect for gun rights, our  State and Federal Constitutions, and will empower both the citizens and  employees of Wilkes County.<\/p>\n<p> Just last month Pitt and Person counties opened their facilities to lawful concealed carry, and two weeks ago citizens of  Tobaccoville, in Forsyth County, showed up in force to demand a proposed  firearms discharge ban in their Village be voted down, and it was! <\/p>\n<p> Your action to  repeal your ban on lawful concealed carry will surely inspire even more  to follow suit. Thank you in advance for doing the right thing, this  Tuesday evening, by voting to allow lawful concealed carry. I will  continue to monitor this issue through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina. <\/p>\n<p> Sincerely, <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" _mce_style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"mceItemTable\" style=\"background-color: #0000ff;; width: 100%\" _mce_style=\"background-color: #0000ff; width: 100%;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" _mce_style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" _mce_style=\"color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black;\" _mce_style=\"font-family: Arial Black;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\" _mce_style=\"color: #ffffff;\">GRNC-PVF RAFFLE:&nbsp;<br \/> GET A GLOCK FOR THE NEW YEAR!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\" _mce_style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/paracom.paramountcommunication.com\/ct\/32937537:s_Z3BxyNa:m:1:345464502:D641AEB18E9816A586158C07ED1E66D5:r\" _mce_href=\"http:\/\/paracom.paramountcommunication.com\/ct\/32937537:s_Z3BxyNa:m:1:345464502:D641AEB18E9816A586158C07ED1E66D5:r\">CLICK&nbsp;HERE <\/a>for details and to buy tickets. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\" _mce_style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span _mce_style=\"font-size: large;\" style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Win a Kimber Custom II,<\/strong><\/span><span _mce_style=\"font-size: large;\" style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong> a Glock 43, <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\" _mce_style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\" _mce_style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span _mce_style=\"font-size: large;\" style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>training, and more!
