Hurricane Bev blows gun rights away for all North Carolina residents

Guess we just found out which side of the gun rights aisle N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdue is on. With Hurricane Earl supposedly approaching (ain't even seen a rain drop yet, much less any high wind) Hurricane Bev has already made landfall and is wreaking havoc with our Second Amendment rights.

North Carolina Governor Suspends Gun Rights

“State of emergency order makes criminals of concealed handgun permit holders, sport shooters and hunters.”
According to the story, Governor Beverly Perdue signed Executive Order Number 62, declaring a state of emergency in preparation for impending Hurricane Earl. This, in accordance with North Carolina statute 14288.7, would effectively make it illegal for a citizen to transport or posses a weapon “off his own premises.”

 The story in the Charlotte Examiner gives the dirty low-down.

State of emergency order makes criminals of concealed handgun permit-holders, sport shooters and hunters.
[Raleigh] Yesterday, North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue signed Executive Order No. 62, declaring a State of Emergency in advance of Hurricane Earle. In doing so, Perdue suspended the right of state residents to use or carry firearms outside their premises.

Guess I'll be staying home with my guns and hunkering down until Hurricane Bev blows herself out. And you can bet your sweet bippy that me and all my gun-loving buddies will do our dead level best to run that hag outa the Governor's Mansion at the next election.

Obama bans import of 100,000 M1 Garands & Carbines from S. Korea

I probably ought to be happy about this because it's sure to create a spike in business for the gun shop where I work, but it still pisses me off to read that Obama is banning the import of 100,000 genuine U.S. M1 Garands and M1 Carbines from South Korea. Read the full story at The Volokh Conspiracy.

According to The Korea Times, the Obama administration has blocked efforts by the South Korean government to sell over a  hundred thousand surplus M1 Garand and Carbine rifles into the United States market. These self-loading were rifles introduced in 1926 and 1941. As rifles, they are especially well-suited to community defense in an emergency, as in the cases of community defense following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Along with AR-15 type rifles, the M1 rifles are the quintessential firearms of responsible citizenship, precisely the type of firearms which civic responsibility organizations such as the Appleseed Project teach people how to use. 

As the Gateway Pundit puts it,  It Begins... Obama Bans Gun Sales

Yet another reason to vote the leftwingnuts out of office in November and to vote for "The End of an Error" in 2012.

"Don't Tread On My Gun Rights" yard signs available from NRA-ILA

I gotta get me one of these from the NRA-ILA for my yard. I'm hopeful this fall's elections will open up a huge can of whoop ass on the leftwingnuts in power, leading up to the "End of an Error" in November 2012.

Praise the Lord and pass the Gun Rights signs.

I'd rather have one of these from Sig Sauer, but I guess I'll have to settle for the signs since I can't buy all the guns I want: Sig P226R 9mm Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" w/N.S.
