While I do appreciate the welcome here, I also take note of the attempt at personal insults (and no - I wasn't wearing any costumes)...
The very definition of "professional" is that you are paid for your services.
None of us at GRNC are paid anything for our time or skills - we are all 100% volunteers so the insult attempts are particularly appreciated, and really reflect on the nature of this forum. I have literally contributed years to GRNC activities and am proud of GRNC lead efforts and achievement for the North Carolina gun community. Without GRNC volunteers you would not have:
If you have real and constructive actions that can do better, I have not seen them and challenge you to do better. To those that donate to GRNC and participate, my genuine thanks. Without you it would be much more difficult. In fact, without your participation is is more difficult.
- Concealed Carry in any form
- Castle Doctrine
- Regular elimination of infringing anti-gun regulations
- Opposition in person to anti-gun demonstrations and activities
- Representation at every session of the Legislature for 23 years
All the rest is talk... And that's the nature of the Internet world. Of course, it's also interesting to see all this activity on the forum while people are normally scheduled to be working. I guess that there is plenty of time to post on the forum during the work day.
The weak attempt at insults and criticism and withdrawal of support are most of the response I have received from this forum to my request for constructive action. It has quickly made an impression.
BTW, you can thank the Senate for the rally's schedule, since holding it when they are not in session makes little sense.
If you've lost sight of the issues we're dealing with as gun owners, I suggest you re-evaluate your analysis and level of comfort. For reasons I cannot imagine, it looks like the concept of Constitutional Carry has been manipulated to split the gun community in North Carolina. While Concealed Carry was not remotely possible in 1994 when the original CHP law was established, times have changed and today it should be embraced by all of us. There are no downsides to this law, and only improvements for all citizens whether they carry or not.
There are a number of Senators that, in caucus, prioritized your rights so low that they never addressed this important bill. They need constant and well publicized reminders that we are watching and our expectations have not been met. They need to understand that their position depends on the votes of gun owners.
Now, who can help us with a professionally constructed Rhino mascot costume?
the silly ass rino costumes helped you to lose all credibility. As soon as you walked in, people's attitude and mindset were instantly changed. You shot yourself in the foot and set us back years in the eyes of the public.
