Quote of the Day
Is it moral to carry arms? You bet it is! When I enter your home or your business with a firearm, concealed or otherwise, I am tacitly agreeing to share with you the responsibility for defending your property and your family. When I eat in the same restaurant, I am prepared to shed my blood in your defense. There are survivors of the horror at Luby’s in Killeen, Texas, who would appreciate what I am saying here.
I will never, never need to ask some poor cop to die for me. I value my own life enough to defend it myself. I carry arms proudly, as a free American.
Do you?

"Handguns - A Moral Imperative"
North Carolina is a "must issue" state. It is actually harder to get the permit here than I found it to be in California (when I lived in relatively permissive counties, that is).
The problem is one of delay. Only one person teaches the required class in my area, and they are "waiting" for enough students. So therefore I wait.
Yet, by attempting to comply with the law, if I am then caught carrying I have a less defensible position.
NC also as reciprocal licensing agreements with lots of other states, which the police like not one bit. They don't like it so much that they pretend not to know about it. No kidding.
