GRNC Update 12-01-05:
Concealed Carry – Celebrating 10 Years of a Safer NC

Please join us in celebrating ten years of a safer North Carolina. Yes, ten years
ago today the Concealed Carry victory engineered by GRNC became law. Despite this
being a great victory, GRNC knew that much could be done to improve this law. During
this past decade GRNC has toiled to further enhance your concealed carry rights.
This work has paid off in recent years.

Thanks to Reciprocity, your NC CCW is good in many other states with more being
added from time to time, thanks to GRNC and your efforts. Another recent victory
is the ability to use your CCW permit in lieu of the redundant NICS check or special
pistol purchase permits. One of the most recent victories was marked with the passage
of a bold new approach to combating domestic violence. HB 1311, the Domestic Violence
Victim Empowerment Act, passed into law weakened from the original vision of GRNC,
but it still marks a significant shift in the education of victims of domestic violence
about what options are available to protect life and limb from deadly attacks.

WE WILL NOT REST ON OUR LAURELS – WILL YOU?

For all our progress, we still face an uphill fight. Battles have been won, but
the war goes on. The Democrat leadership in the NC General Assembly became creative
in finding new tricks to run roughshod on your rights this past session and it would
be na?ve to believe that that is going to stop. In the face of this, GRNC will
continue to work for further enhancements to the CCW law.

Through the outstanding conduct of the past decade you have proved yourselves worthy
of greater freedom in exercising this right and GRNC will be your advocate in Raleigh.
In order to accomplish this, we need your help. You must continue to respond to
our calls and hammer at your representatives. New volunteers are always needed
for Legislative Action work ([email protected]) and gun shows. And yes,
we need your monetary support.
