Gun Legislation In The North Carolina House

Today, the 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 the 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 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.
Roy Cooper is a dick. I know this. It happens every time the idiots in NC elect a democrat to the governor’s office. It’s bad when they elect a republican (Pat McCrory gave us toll roads). It’s simple awful when a democrat is elected.
The guns in churches bill (attached to church schools that is, because it’s already legal to carry in church) will be vetoed by Cooper, and the legislature won’t be able to override it. Anyway, don’t worry about what’s legal when it comes to your family’s safety.
Cooper also said this.
“I expect Republican leadership in our North Carolina legislature to follow a lot of other state legislatures in using this ‘big lie’ of voter fraud as an excuse for laws that suppress the vote,” Cooper, a Democrat, said during a POLITICO Live event. “Let’s just get real about it: These laws are intended to discourage people from voting.”
“The good thing about having enough Democrats in my state legislature to uphold a veto is that we can stop some of those things,” Cooper said on Thursday. “It’s going to fall on the states in order to fight that off.”
And thus you know where he stands. His wife is an even worse person than he is – if that seems possible.

Words to live by, literally.
Legality and morality are worlds apart now.

Seven states where Trump was leading shut down counting on election night. Six of them produced “miraculous” wins for Biden. The seventh reelected Roy Cooper.
