U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- March 11th, the North Carolina House passed House Bill 134 by a vote of 72-44. The bill expands the ability of citizens to defend themselves and their loved ones while attending religious worship. This is similar to Senate Bill 43 that the Senate recently passed.

House Bill 134 allows law-abiding citizens who hold a concealed handgun permit to carry a handgun to defend themselves and their loved ones when attending religious worship taking place on private property that is both a school and a place of worship if it does not prohibit firearms. This empowers private property owners to set their own security policy, rather than the state imposing a one-size-fits-all solution. In 2019, an armed citizen defended his church against an individual in Texas. This worshiper, Jack Wilson, was able to take action because of similar, NRA-backed legislation in Texas.

Last year, a similar bill, the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, passed both chambers with bipartisan majorities after stalling the year before. It moved through the legislative process quickly last year because of strong leadership demonstrated in both chambers. Unfortunately, Governor Roy Cooper chose to veto this critical bill, and the General Assembly was unable to override it.

This is not a “Second Amendment Protection Act.” A Second Amendment Protection Act will direct all state officials to ignore and refuse to comply with any unconstitutional federal gun control statute. We need to defend the the Second Amendment from the feds. That is the bottom line.

Cooper (aka: the Rocky Mount Lazy Bastard) will never allow this.
