Paula May, Police Chief in King, N.C. has created a firestorm of protest after a State of Emergency was declared by the city council due to the bad winter storm weather of the last few days. What created the uproar was that the SOE also included a ban on the sale of alcohol and the lawful carrying of firearms in cars.
According to May, "Under North Carolina law, when a state of emergency is put into place that includes a ban on driving, the sale of alcohol and carrying of firearms in vehicles is also banned".
Didn't we deal with this issue after Hurricane Katrina when various local Louisiana authorities took it upon themselves to confiscate firearms being lawfully carried by Louisiana residents? Wasn't a Federal law passed that prevented authorities from doing this?
One protester sent an email to the city that said "This has to be the most ridiculous event of the century!!!!! This is the ultimate denial of liberties for the most asinine reason...bad weather!!!”
It sounds like the NRA needs to get involved and demand an investigation.
