NC 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties - map/updates

I guess it does sort of throw a wrench in the works when the Dems state "Everyone is in favor of gun control" and the majority of the state is filling up commisioners meetings to avoid it.
 
Wilkes is now a 2a sanctuary county. I wasn’t able to find out anything more than I knew before though. People were saying we need to elect a different sheriff so I’ll have to look into that as well.
 
One of the things I am really happy to see, is that in all of the resolutions I’ve read, not one of them has mentioned “sportsmen and hunters” when referencing Amendment II.

Some folks, including most politicians, see these resolutions as only “symbolic”, but IMO, it goes a lot deeper than that. For the sake of posterity, it shows that people took every peaceable avenue available to preserve their liberty.
 
Sent to Sheriff Christopher:

Dear Sheriff Christopher:

I'm sure you are aware of the current trends with our neighbor to the north in regards to proposed new infringements to law abiding Virginians right to keep and bear arms. I feel confident you are also aware of the growing movement across that state and in North Carolina as well to create 2A Sanctuary counties/cities/towns etc. to oppose those infringements.

It has been published that Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell is part of a group drafting a resolution to present to their Board of Commissioners "asking that they protect our most basic right....the ability to defend ourselves against enemies foreign and domestic, our right to bear arms."

I'm writing in hopes of finding you of like mind and to encourage you to promote Haywood County as a 2A Sanctuary.

Sincerely,​
 
Maybe I should email my Meck Co Sheriff. :rolleyes:

I don't see any good reason why you might need a rifle that can fire more than 10 rounds before inserting another clip--or a shotgun that can fire more than seven.

I personally appreciate you stating your position on this. I will remember it going forward. Thanks again.

Now I know that those proposals may sound unreasonable to those who believe there should be NO restrictions on any kind of firearms, but to me--honestly--they make good sense.

Simply stated as was the above. Thanks again. Now we know where you stand.

Those weren’t @Whoknows words, they were reprinted from an editorial. So don’t take aim at him if he rolls up to your gates. :D
 
So isn't this all a bunch of words? What does it mean? No laws were changed it is just a "feel good" response to Virginia Dem's going off their rocker? I mean, on the one hand i am glad for solidarity of 2A guys, but i wonder if this wave of energy could be directed into a real law of some kind. Something with actual teeth.

To my understanding, this is more than trivial and less than supreme law. I THINK this amounts to a similar scenario with marijuana at state vs federal level, except at the local-vs-state layers. so in this case, true supremacy goes to the state, who has legal authority to establish laws and--to my non-legal brain--has the power to then delegate to localities (similar to fed/state depending on nature of issue). Thus if they dont delegate to towns or counties, the state law is still law of the land. But the next issue is enforcement...

Technically, in California, the DEA could still show up to a farm, seize its assets and arrest its owners/operators. and extending that to the 2a sanctuary, the state could use its officers to arrest individuals or shut down FFLs, however the local law enforcement will not conduct such arrests and will not assist in such arrests or seizures etc.

Thats my take on the situation. Its not 'legal' but theres not much the obstinate authority can do because they do not have the resources to enforce it. I'm sure there been cases where DEA does shut down weed farms, but likely in connection with other drugs and/or organized crime.

Which officers would the state use?

Those are all mountain counties.
Mountain folks have a long history (in this area about 300 years, and the native Indians long before that) of telling governments to go pound sand, and no other subject will get them fired up as much as 'taking the guns'. Even anti's who don't have a dog in this fight or perhaps do, know better than to get in the face of a mountain man about his gun. They usually just stick to their other ideals such as health care/gay/abortion/weed.
And these TN mountain folks are not like mountain folks in the Sierra Nevada's. They don't have big fancy properties with composting barrels and gated driveways. They're hardcore woodsmen and women.
3rd..the US has never won a war/conflict/police action in mountainous terrain.
Never.

Yeah, I'm from East Tenn. I was raised in the mountains and most all my kinfolk are there and have been for a very long time. Your right mountain folk in East Tenn. and Western NC most any of the Appalachian mountain chain is a different breed of people. It'd be nice if most of all the southern states declared themselves gun or 2nd amendment sanctuaries

not familiar with the LE structure here...if no appropriate officers all the better. Obviously feds don’t give a hoot since they not arresting people for crimes that don’t exist under their law.

This, IMO, makes this more than just political theater. There is a practical benefit to the 2a sanctuary.

Before Settle read the resolution, he briefly recounted how the Patriot militia from Wilkes and Surry counties defeated a Tory force under Major Patrick Ferguson in the American Revolution after Ferguson threatened to “lay fire” to them in 1780...

...“If you’ve got your gun tonight (at the meeting), you’re perfectly legal. In some neighboring counties, you can’t do that, but you can in this county,” said Settle.

Probably never happen in Iredell. All those big brains in Mooresville.

If I may add to this...
California MAY not assist in helping federal agencies seize the assets of pot farmers.
However, CA has a lot of licensing and taxation that goes into "legally" farming for pot. If you don't keep paying graft... er... taxes and licensing/regulatory fees... the state will very much assist in agencies taking everything you have and split the booty.
It has happened a few times already.

I'm just curious who these state officers are that will come into counties and enforce gun laws.
 
any infographic maps being maintained for NC? if not, anyone feeling impassioned enough to create one?

This is what we have so far. This does not include counties considering the measure...only those where it has passed.

If I missed any, one of yall let me know.

From the info I have, Catawba (1/21), Davidson (1/14), Stokes, Iredell, Rowan, Randolph and Gaston (1/28) counties are pursuing sanctuary status.

Alexander - Sheriff presenting resolution at the 2/3 BOC meeting.

Again, if I missed any or you have a specific date you know a resolution is up
for vote, lemme know.

As more counties pass resolutions, I’ll update the map with my feeble attempts using iphone photo editing.

I just sent an email to Sheriff Terry Johnson asking him about his position on this as well as his support in making this happen in Alamance.

He's pretty pro-2A, but slimey as all getout. It'd be nice, but I won't hold my breath. All that said we're a pretty conservative county, so there is hope.
