Getting Out In Front Of The Problems: N.C. Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 10 months ago
Lincoln County was the first to do it. Next up, by my count (I could use a second check on this), North Carolina has added the following counties to the ranks of second amendment sanctuaries (I’ll include Lincoln County in the roll call).
Lincoln County
Surry County
Wilkes County
Rowan County
Davidson County
Iredell County
There are other counties actively working on it, including Gaston County.
This is good, if they’re serious. I’ve already outlined some of the serious implications of this, and no, this isn’t some “symbolic gesture” if they intend it to be more than that. This means not just refusing to cooperate in confiscatory schemes and other infringements, but using the power of the Sheriff and militia to stop others from doing it.
As for Lincoln County, Commissioner Carol Mitchem says this. “I don’t need more layers of government telling me what to do,” Mitchem said. “If it comes to pass that they want to infringe upon the people’s rights to carry guns, it’s going to be a bad day for somebody.”
Good. I’ll remember your declaration. I’m going to hold you to this, sir.

I’m surprised by the lack of screeching from the other side about 2A sanctuaries or they may still be in mourning over the Iranian throat cutter killed in a precision military strike.
Using RED tactics against them really rubs their rhubarb the wrong way.
Local is the way to be and it is a good time to put out antenna and see what your local LEOs think about the 2A sanctuary issue.

I’ll be away from home for a couple of weeks(Avery County) but I’ll try to find out what’s going on here when I get back. Avery is extremely “conservative” so I imagine that they will be on board with the 2A sanctuary issue.

@penses,
I’m not sure what you’re saying, but if you’re pointing the finger at the county commissioners for trying to keep people distracted, you don’t know that and have absolutely no proof of that. And you know nothing about the boys from Lincoln county or Gaston county. I do.
If you’re saying that about fedgov or the state, then I understand.

Talking to your local LEO’s about 2A sanctuaries is the best way to get a feel on where they stand. Good to know now, instead of finding out when TSHTF.

I’m sure Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) will not participate. Biggest Democrat hellhole in the State.

Avery County voted in as a sanctuary on June 3, 2019 according to the minutes from the Board of Commissioners meeting. It was first mentioned on April1, 2019 and they voted on the resolution on June 3, 2019.
