NC HB 181: The We Are Better Than Thee Bill

Rep. Stephen LaRoque has proposed a change in North Carolina's concealed carry law that would allow "state, federal and local elected officials with a concealed carry permit to take their weapons anywhere it's not forbidden by federal law". He claims he'd rather apply this standard to all CCW permit holders, but since that's not feasible this is a a "good first step". I'd have more respect for LaRoque if he had the guts to go for the gold and there has never been a better time to try in North Carolina. His "good first step" smells of lip service and excuses. HB 181 is a bad bill as is any law that places politicians above those they serve. Any legislator that supports this trash needs to start looking for another job. You need to call your representatives and make sure they understand that fact.

H/T to Sean.
