ultimately, they are all the same.We look right past Moore and Berger to accuse Cooper of stopping 2A progress in NC.
What if - and I know this sounds crazy but hear me out - what if we taught kids gun safety while they were still in school? That way, everyone has had some training by the time they become an adult.
In the newspaper, Berger is quoted as saying he didn't have the votes. They need every single Republican in both houses to override the veto. All 132 of them voting unanimously because all 68 Dems will vote against it. That's a tall order.
You can say "uniparty", "all the same", but a party that votes 98% pro-gun and a party that votes 100% anti-gun are not the same. If we knew who the few were that would not vote for it, we could go after them, but a blanket statement that they are all the same is just not accurate.
Every war is a series of battles. This year we gave up nothing and gained a major victory. I'm disappointed but I'm not going to denigrate our soldiers as a group because they didn't bring home everything in a single session.
Absolutely, also squeeze in a Stop the Bleed class.What if - and I know this sounds crazy but hear me out - what if we taught kids gun safety while they were still in school? That way, everyone has had some training by the time they become an adult.
And a class on how to change a tire and oil, jump a car, put out a fire with an extinguisher, kinda like we had when I was in school in 7th grade. It was called technology and life skills. Half of it was wood shop/auto shop and the other was “home economics” class. We had a lady teach sewing, balancing a check book and basic cooking stuff. It was honestly my favorite class out of all my years of school. The guy taught auto and shop the second half of the yearAbsolutely, also squeeze in a Stop the Bleed class.
The timing isn't right because they possibly have the votes to override a veto. They can't use it as leverage in the next election for votes if it passed.Asked about making the concealed carry permit optional, Berger told reporters: “I think people have a constitutional right to protect themselves, utilizing weapons. I think that law-abiding citizens can be trusted to handle those rights responsibly. I just don’t know that the timing is right for us, at this time, to move forward with additional gun legislation.”
That seems to be a common, BS excuse among Republicans.
And that’s todays lesson, boys and girls…Team Red despises liberty just like Team Blue.
i made a duffel bag in 7th grade. while it has seen lighter use than most of my bags, it's held up the longest. you know, like 30 years.And a class on how to change a tire and oil, jump a car, put out a fire with an extinguisher, kinda like we had when I was in school in 7th grade.

I was waiting for someone to say this. For this to be true, it requires a coordinated effort (some would say "conspiracy") between every elected R, and I just don't think the leadership is capable of holding everyone together like that. The D's, do, of course, because they are collectivists. But R's as a group are too independently minded to goose step together like that.The timing isn't right because they possibly have the votes to override a veto.

Someone else posted this and I'll repeat it. It wasnt going to be Constitutional Carry anyway. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.politics is the art of the possible. Permitless carry with training requirement is still good because you can get a CHP class in a weekend.
You *CANNOT* get a CHP, even in a good county, that quickly.
If you reside in Mecklenburg or Wake county, you will wait almost a year. Unacceptable

Got delayed because the bill contains no means to independently track training compliance.
Instructors oppose any elimination of mandated customers. They'd be forced to lower prices to attract customers.
Criminals are still not going to any training class.
Or they could just do what is best for their constituents like they were voted in to do. Maybe they would win reelection based on the good things they did. Saying timing isn't right is a stupid nonexcuse.What kind of ingrates are gun owners? Moore and Berger have already eliminated PPPs during this session of the legislature.
There might be no reason for peasants to re-elect legislators if something they wanted wasn't dangling in the next session of the legislature. And some voters can be depended on to offer excuses and sing the praises of legislators in hopes of being on their good side "next time."
That's where we come into play. Light up the phones and let him know.Though it wouldn’t overcome Berger’s reluctance to take up another gun bill this session.
This I do not believe. The training will be on the honor system? No way. This looks just like a school yard child feud to see who can come out on top and take credit. I don't like the NRA, but I don't like this blame game either. Only a fool believes one side without hearing the other. If they can still get this ironed out then whatever. I don't think they will. I live free regardless of what tyrants demand. Cheers! 🍻The training requirement can be satisfied by courses from the NRA, USCCA, or an online course to be established by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission. There will be no permit, no live fire training, no requirement to carry proof of training, nor any central repository or database of who has or has not taken a course.
Then NRA would gladly step in and offer online training if you pay a fee or membership, so they will support it based on them making a killing.What kind of ingrates are gun owners? Moore and Berger have already eliminated PPPs during this session of the legislature.

Did you notice the bill allowed online training? Anybody able to deliver online training could undercut prices for in-person training and sweep the market.

lost me right there.....but you are welcome to think about yourself however you wish. 😂 😂 😂I know more than most folks.

I don't wish or need anything. I don't bow to tyrants. I didn't screw over anybody. You are just getting your panties in a wad because you don't like my point of view I sent to Kidwell. Did you send one expressing your point of view? Do I have the right to express free speech or do you want to restrict that also? I have listened or read your opinions. I may not agree with them all, but you have a right to express them. I tried to add a little humor to lighten things up, but you appear to just want to silence me and now BLAME ME.....just like Paul is blaming the NRA. I do NOT support the NRA and could care less about them especially in the last few years. They have done some good things in the past. They were the only ones at one time. Now, other people want to be on top. Great, let them fight it out. I hope they all fight for us. Oh, and when did I become responsible for the fact that people CHOOSE to live (not stuck) in Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford, and Forsythe Counties? Take some responsibility. If you live in one of those Counties then you choose to do so. I choose to live in a free County. If I didn't I would move not blame someone else for it. I'm a big boy so blame away if it makes you feel better. God knows I don't want to crush your fragile feelings. Geez...have a cold Coors Light and relax.well now you got your wish & got nothing... you helped screw over 40% of NC residents stuck in Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford & Forsyth counties... 🙄
Right, he screwed you guys over instead of the corrupt politicians that refuse to respect the constitution... I don't understand this mentality. The more you accept compromise the more of your rights you will lose.well now you got your wish & got nothing... you helped screw over 40% of NC residents stuck in Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford & Forsyth counties... 🙄

If he is that type of guy then I doubt my little ole email got him twisted up in a knot. The response was that my email was "noted and filed" .....maybe file 13, who knows. But, I did get involved and I expressed my God given right to free speech. MericaI was there Tuesday & spent the whole day following Paul Valone around, listening to the dialogue behind the cameras...I know more than most folks.
Spiker is an idiot & needs to go.
I listened to Keith Kidwell talk about his interaction with Spiker... Spiker has never met Kidwell before & walks into his office trying to bully him.
Remember this picture?
there are some representatives you can bully, but Kidwell is NOT one of them. 😉❤️
Frankly, Kidwell reminds me of Sandor Clegane “about to eat every f*cking chicken in this room”. 🤣
