North Carolina Greenville Mayor & City Council Attack Your Gun Rights Again
First it was membership in “Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG)” and now Gun Bans!

Grass Roots North Carolina for Firearms Education

North Carolina --(Ammoland.com)- Now Greenville Mayor Pat Dunn leads a swan song cynical over-reach to circumvent HB 650. Apparently she refuses leave without also leaving her anti-freedom mark!

In violation of both the letter, and more importantly, spirit of the new state law that uniformly permits concealed carry within all North Carolina parks, the Greenville City Council, under out-going Mayor Pat Dunn, recently passed draconian legislation that mandates posting against carry in 25 broad areas and numerous sub-regions of Greenville parks - including a clear over-reaching ban in the city’s dog park!

• Dunn’s membership in New York City Mayor Bloomberg’s strident anti-gun MAIG organization was bad enough.
• Now, adding insult to injury, she seeks to make a final parting assault on lawful carry within Greenville’s recreational facilities.
• All this effort to disarm the law-abiding when violent crime in Greenville parks is a clear and present danger.
• Just last week Leroy Staton was brutally murdered in Jaycee Park. A park that will now be posted in seven areas.
• Every Greenville area that can be spun as a playground, an athletic field, a swimming pool, or athletic facility (and others that cannot) will be posted against lawful concealed carry.
• This type of exhaustive “kitchen sink” approach to bans is exactly what HB 650 was intended to prevent.
• This indiscriminate ban is clearly a cynical attempt to flout both state law, and Second Amendment rights.
• Such unreasonable and arrogant attempts to deprive free North Carolinians of their rights cannot and will not be tolerated!

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED:

Contact

• Contact Mayor Pat Dunn, Mayor-Elect Allen Thomas, and the City Councilors of Greenville, NC.
• Tell them that Greenville, NC refuses to become a defenseless small-town image of NYC, Washington DC and Chicago.
• All of which are represented by MAIG members,
• All of which disarm the law-abiding to the benefit of violent criminals.
• Tell them to rescind their illegal ordinance!

Deliver This Message

Greenville City Representatives,

It has come to my attention that you intend to ban guns within extensive areas under city control in response to recent ratification of HB 650, “Castle Doctrine and Concealed Carry Permitted in Parks”.

You should be aware that, although this new law does permit posting against concealed carry in certain clearly and very narrowly-defined areas, your recently-passed anti-gun ordinance is overly-broad and violates both the letter, and more importantly the spirit of this new, freedom-promoting state law.

In particular, banning of carry within the city’s off-leash dog park, that cannot be reasonably considered a “playground” is clearly in violation of state law. This also makes it clear that the ordinance was prepared to indiscriminately ban otherwise lawful carry within every region of Greenville that can be construed, however torturously, to be permissible under HB 650.

HB 650 was intended to create statewide uniformity in the regulation of legal carry. Your ordinance is a clear and cynical attempt to thwart this effort, and therefore must be rescinded immediately.

North Carolinian Concealed Handgun permitees have shown themselves to be extremely responsible and are not a problem that you should be concerned about. Places within Greenville where citizens are not permitted to effectively defend themselves IS a problem that you NEED TO BEGIN working to solve.

A clear example of the need for law-abiding Greenville citizens to be permitted effective means of self-defense is the this week’s brutal murder of Leroy Staton in Jaycee Park, a small facility within which you intend to post seven separate areas.

I insist that you abandon plans to disarm responsible permit holders, and immediately rescind your illegal ordinance.

I will be following progress through Grass Roots North Carolina.

Sincerely,

A concerned NC voter

GRNC is preparing to take appropriate legal action and needs to identify local plaintiffs

• Plaintiffs are currently needed for actions within Kernersville, Greenville and Smithfield. Please contact alerts@grnc.org.
• Other municipalities may be added.
• Everyone should carefully monitor municipal ordinances, particularly those recently enacted.
• Any restrictions beyond “a playground, an athletic field, a swimming pool, or an athletic facility” should be immediately reported to alerts@grnc.org.

Casper Wyoming To Vote for More New Gun Control

Wyoming Gun Owners

Wyoming --(Ammoland.com)- When Constitutional Carry was signed into law in Wyoming we knew that the anti-gun politicians would come out of the woodwork.

And they did…by using slick lawyer arguments and authority hungry police chiefs they have now exposed a monumental plan to implement gun control statewide.

Too bad for them we’re on to them.

Like usual they are selling their evil plan using the same old scare tactics, but you and I know better–this is just an attempt to chip away at your gun rights a piece at a time!

Here is what you need to know–at a recent Casper City business meeting the council members revealed they have built a coalition to lobby against your gun rights.

You heard it right–an anti-gun coalition right here in Wyoming.

In fact they have become so bold that Mayor Paul Bertoglio (Republican) and police chief Chris Walsh admitted that they are conspiring with other towns and lobby groups to challenge your constitutionally protected right to bear arms.

Incredibly the Casper council members are so paranoid they don’t even want you to have a pocket knife and intend to expand the city ordinance on sharp objects as well .

And you should have heard the City Attorney and police chief speak of other states prohibitions as justified–an irrational thinking process that suggests if New York does it so can Casper Wyoming.

Talk about working for outside interests.

Republican Mayor Paul Bertoglio and Republican council member Bill Brauer follow the lead of liberal Democrat Kim Holloway as they listen to police chief Chris Walsh push for tougher restrictions on gun rights.

You should note that during the Casper City business meeting not one of the council members spoke in support of the rights guaranteed by the constitution.

They believe it’s simply up to them to wield their might with a stroke of a pen. Who needs a constitution Right?

Wrong –and this is also a violation of state law– under Wyoming statute municipalities cannot make their own gun laws. The problem is there is no fine or penalty when they do.

But these slimy politicians always forget one thing –that by supporting gun control– they may have to pay a huge political price.

That’s why I need your help to flood Casper Mayor Paul Bertoglio’s with phone calls (307) 235-4726 and emails paulb@tribcsp.com, tell him to “leave your gun rights alone!

To Liberty,

P.S. Wyoming Mayors have joined the anti-gun stance of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and that’s why it is important for you to become a member of Wyoming Gun Owners to help defend gun rights.

Wyoming Gun Owners is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, single-purpose citizens’ organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1 Section 24 of the Wyoming Constitution.

Wyoming Gun Owners is the only organization taking action at this level–with an aggressive program designed to mobilize public support for pro-gun legislation as well as opposition to gun control.
