Okay I only read like pieces of a few sentences but from what I've gathered it's always been like that during a state of emergency? True?

If so, why are people just now bitching.

i don't really get how it is trampling on people's rights when it is a state of emergency

but i know other people are all like rawr rawr grumble grumble

it will be over in a few days

you can use your guns then

until then you'll just have to combat the hurricane and the grocery store lines for bread and milk like the rest of us

9/2/2010 8:28:10 PM

dove season opens saturday. the dove season is like the hunter's new year. it's the first season to open up. dove hunting on opening day is a tradition for a lot of people.

most of the state is not in a "state of emergency"

besides, i don't see the advantage to having the law-abiding citizens unarmed during a state of emergency

[Edited on September 2, 2010 at 8:31 PM. Reason : i doubt this will be enforced anyway]

9/2/2010 8:30:44 PM

you're NOT unarmed.

there's a hurricane bearing down on you, it's called a state of emergency.

so stay the fuck home with your guns and look out the windows for looters.

you'll get to go kill some animals for your sport another day. i promise you.

i think they do it to prevent worst case scenario (think katrina) type deals. like when shit really hits the fan and people are rioting and looting in the streets and no one can find food. desperate people resort to desperate measures so i guess they're trying to prevent the absolute worst (and prevent the gun holders from just taking the law into their own hands, if shit like that were to happen)? but that is just myyyy thought.

and how is a gun gonna help keep a hurricane away

there is no emergency situation where i am

everything is quite normal

9/2/2010 8:33:28 PM

well, so go hunting then.

even if it's enforced (which i doubt) its only a misdemeanor.

and then you can exercise civil disobedience and become part of a lawsuit to challenge the constitutional aspect of this law.

which has nothing to do with the Gov'ner by the way...

9/2/2010 8:35:27 PM

yeah, this law is fucked up, and if I felt inclined to carry one of my guns anywhere, I wouldn't let it stop me, and I doubt that it's enforced. furthermore, the kind of wild scenario that this law is meant for is the kind of scenario where you can bet your ass that I'd be armed, regardless of what the law says.

that said, the thread title is completely disingenuous.

during Ike here, the city gov't here stopped the sale of alcohol and ammo for 2 days after the storm passed. but the gave us a warning 5 days in advance. my hurricane supplies now include ammo, and at least 5 cases of beer per person. i bought 2 cases of beer thinking it would be enough for me, i was out the 1st day...

The Constitution overrules this stupid state law.

And yes, people have been bitching about this for a long time. And you can blame Bev, just like any other governor for suspending gun rights... they have the ability to get the law changed and they don't.

Well, let's just prevent any worst case scenarios and have the police search everyone's home for any thing that could be used as a weapon and then have a police office in everyone's home, just to make sure.

Unconstitutional law is unconstitutional.

This is the same governor who said she was applying for federal disaster aid the last time is snowed. In the end the snow melted in a day, or two and everything went back to normal. She seems to think anything beyond sun and a little rain is a disaster.

9/3/2010 11:24:18 AM

^ When that happened I remember thinking that she was going to end up causing a 'boy who cried wolf' scenario. A real disaster strikes and no one gives us any help.

yes, the law is unconstitutional and needs to be changed, and you aren't a redneck for noting this fact.

and yes there are some particularly stupid people in this thread (B4C, etc.) bitching about how a state of emergency is overkill, and they would be the first to scream and shout about unprepared government as soon as Earl takes a turn inland and devastates half the state.

i don't blame her if she applied for disaster aid on a clear, sunny day. the feds take a bunch of money, then redispense it as they see fit. I'm no fan of Gov. Perdue, but I can't blame her for trying to get back dollars that never should have been taken to begin with.
