If you trust cops for your rights, you deserve to have NONE.
What color is the sky in your little Utopian world?
People will ignore this B S.
But will the police?

Oh, it's just misleading, that's all.
The law states that you can't carry off your own property during a State of Emergency.
So when there was a State of Emergency declared, the misleading headline "North Carolina Suspends Right To Keep And Bear Arms" was possible.
I'm not judging the wisdom of the statute, just commenting on what is really going on.
IANAL.
I can’t imagine why in a state of emergency or natural disaster why any citizen would have an elevated concern for their family’s safety.
I would lock everything up and head for the nearest designated safe shelter.
Not.
If I have to leave this house I WILL be armed!
Nothing prevents that.
The statute, as I read it, says nothing against staying home and protecting your property with your firearm.
Just call 911./s
Don't have an answer, I see.
All I asked is how they could possibly violate it. I'll go out on a limb and guess you haven't even read it.
Good night.
If you do it during a state declared emergency and still consider yourself a law-abiding citizen then you may get trouble. If it is total anarchy and it is in defense of your life then you are really not a law-abiding citizen and 2A is your friend.
What if you run out of food or water? Do you stay at home and wait? If you go out to get such and there are thugs and looters accost you and steal your stuff do you go back home get more cash and try again?
Mimicking the habits of sheep got us in to this mess.
Its the Right to keep AND BEAR arms.
Period!
Not the Right to Keep and bear arms until some political asswipe decides we can't now because some libtard has their panties in a bunch!
Every time we give ground they move forward and we never get it back.
But Like I said earlier in another thread, I don't any guns at all...
Nope not a one...
Nor do I own thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo...
Nope not a single round...
And if you see me out an about with a pistol strapped on my holster or a rifle hung over my shoulder during a natural disaster or civilian unrest know that those guns aren't mine.
They are my friend's guns.
His name is Bob and I am looking for him to return them.
Because I don't own any guns...
nope, not a single one...
Such criminal behavior is only a misdemeanor, I think. ;-)
Sad, but true.
...which is why the nice-sounding law, as written, is questioned by many.
“NC demographics have really, really changed in the last 12 years.”
There is a reason NC is known as New York Lite.
Good night to you to trollie.
There is all kinds of human trash running around during a storm. We’ve had them enter the property and we’ve run them off. No way will I get stuck on the road somewhere and be defenseless.
My mom was born right on the GA-NC border and I still have plenty of kinfolk scattered around the area. I highly suspect they’re all laughing their arses off at this right about now...
This isn’t Pennsylvania!
Well stated.
I think the 2A is the best argument, in hindsight, for some of the arguments in favor of having a Bill of Rights. While I think it causes problems with many people now thinking that we have no rights except those enumerated there, I can't imagine how bad it would be if we didn't have that 2A in black and white...well, brownish-tan. :-)
And the fact that it's now applied to the states is interesting. Many states have their own provisions, which seem rather redundant now, and are largely ignored.
