KING, N.C. -- Authorities lifted a curfew and alcohol restrictions in King on Sunday, but said a state of emergency declaration remained in effect until Monday.
Authorities said the state of emergency declaration would continue until Monday 9 a.m., barring any unforeseen circumstances or severe changes.
Effective Sunday afternoon, alcohol restrictions and a curfew were lifted. All other remaining restrictions would continue until Monday, said Paula May, King police chief.
Other restrictions include a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person's own premises.
Also on Sunday, the emergency shelter established by the American red Cross at West Stokes High School was closed.
"We appreciate the support and cooperation of everyone with our efforts to keep the citizens of King safe," May said.
The state of emergency was declared Friday due to severe weather.

Since when does snowfall warrant closing bars, restricting alcohol, curfews and fire arms sale?????? Seems like the local police in North Carolina are actually trying to instigate a situation.

Nice way for these asshole cop scumbags to hurt private businesses.

Seems fair. It's a state of emergency. It actually was an emergency so i don't see the issue with this? Was there any reason for anyone to even consider going to buy a gun in a snowstorm? No.

Wow there really is something wrong with you 333. All you think about his hitler this, stalin that. Is there a reason why you have such an affinity for mass murderers? Perhaps because you share their fascist tendencies. Next you'll be bringing up mussolini as a great Italian.

Mussolini was not a great Italian, he was a fascist dictator who deserved to be hung.
Please tell me what snow has to do with buying a firearm?

If a state of emergency was called they were well within their rights to do what they did. I'm not in NC neither are you, but if it's as bad as it seems it seems logical to me to not want people out and about in such horrendous weather. Closing whatever stores they can would make sure people stayed safe and didn't provide a greater drain on already strained emergency workers.

So why didnt they close all stores?

Ask them. Does it matter? No. You're making it an issue when it really isn't. I don't think anyone wishing to purchase a gun can not wait 2-3 days IN A SNOWSTORM to then go purchase said gun.

Yes it does matter.
This shows how easily the govt can prohibit your rights, and get useful dupes like yourself to go along with it.

No i will accept a state of emergency in a SNOW STORM though. I then won't try to draw imaginary conclusions that this will now occur for any reason imaginable.

The Hitler reference is to make you aware of how people can be made to give up their rights and follow the will of the government. Why are you screaming about mass murderers? What does that have to do with anything?
So far as a state of emergency...snow fall is not a state of emergency. Political leaders scream this nonsense every time two rain drops fall as a way of getting the government to give their state emergency aid.
You guys better snap out of your delusions quick, because the next state of emergency will be the government telling you to line up for the FEMA camps...What will you do then?...just comply? Put up resistance? Will you know the difference between a real emergency and a desire for your gov to scream out a claim in order to just control you?

PRO- With no law enforcement and lots of hungry desperate people, people might WANT a gun to attack others for food or other resources.
CON- With no law enforcement and lots of hungry desperate people, people might NEED a gun to protect their house and family.
REALITY- Only a dumbass waits until a natural disaster to decide to buy a firearm.
PERSONALLY - I'd be sleeping in the day and spending my nights lying prone with the AR-15 ready to politely discourage any visitors ;)

What if some guys are bored and want to go to an indoor range because there is nothing else do do and they ran out of ammo?

"What if some guys are bored and want to go to an indoor range because there is nothing else do do and they ran out of ammo? "
Hey, I'm not saying I agree with the ban. I simply pointed out both the pros and cons, and how I would personally handle it.
I don't have all the info on the situation there. 99% of the time, it's a bad idea. However, if it's a podunk, 5-lawman town, and there is already violent crime going on, maybe they want to stop a local gang or three from turning into pirates, how do I know. Must be some extreme circumstance to warrant this in pro-gun area.

When you give these cops and politicians the hammer, everything looks like nail.
Think about that 240.

Uh, The State of Emergency is over. The reason why gun sales were banned is because they were unable to perform the background checks because the power was out. You do realize there are certain steps to obtaining a firearm. Don`t worry, the power is back on and databases are running fine now and gun sales resume. 3333666, you really are an emotional reactionary wreck.

State of Emergency Terminated
The State of Emergency was terminated at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 8, 2010. Many thanks to Duke Energy for getting power restored to our citizens so quickly, to the news media for keeping our citizens informed,and especially to all our citizens for your understanding during this time of crisis.
-
WTF
Background checks to purchase firearms cannot be run if you do not have power.
-
"The reason why gun sales were banned is because they were unable to perform the background checks because the power was out. "
Wow.... in that case, it seems like a logical move.
Shit, TA you gotta post here more. You bring attention to detail that many of us (myself included) miss.

Indeed. King, NC is a small town about 6000 people which are all supplied by one Power Company, Duke Energy. The entire town lost power.
A blast of winter weather Friday left widespread power outages. As of 5:00pm Saturday, more than 6,400 Duke Energy customers are without power. There is no word yet on when power will be restored in the county. So in the meantime, King Police Chief Paula May issued the following State of Emergency guidelines for the city of King.
-
if the only reason was due to back ground checks then why was ammunition banned too , that does not require back ground check?

Its part of North Carolina state law when a State of Emergency is declared.

Exactly, more laws that violate the constitution and civil rights, i.e. progressive politics, you know the ones that openly admit that the constitution is just a road block

Uh no. States of Emergency are hardly unconstitutional. Show me where this violated the Constitution.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I CAN show you one element where the North Carolina Constitution violates the Federal Constitution and that is the requirement of belief in God to hold office. This of course is null, but it is in there.
And guess which party would like to adhere to that? The Republicans and the right wingers.
Article VI - Suffrage and Eligibility to Office
Article VI provides every person who is at least 18 years, an American Citizen, and living within North Carolina the right to vote. This right is denied to felons and people illiterate in English. This article also sets the eligibility to hold office. To hold state office a person cannot fall in any of the following categories:
1. Younger than 21 years of age
2. Denies the existence of God (see Infeasible Provisions)
3. A person who is not qualified to vote in an election for that office
4. Felon (See felony disenfranchisement)
5. Already holds a state or federal office.

nope wrong again i am an ind, who believes in the constitution and the founding fathers and i didnt say state of emergency is unconstitutional, i said putting laws in there like that is. here is an example why, what if you are stranded in that storm and lutters invade your home and you were refused ammo to effectivley protect your family and property and now you have no way to do this, are you telling me that you have no problem with this? the criminals dont buy guns from gun stores anyway so do they think this does any bit of good

That is the whole point of the State of Emergency Declaration. To prevent the above scenario.

I do realize there needs to be some countermeasures so I am not against all of it. There are some provisions which are necessary in my opinion, for intelligence gathering.

Nothing wrong with that at all. There should always be at least one bottle hidden somewhere in the cupboard.
I have a question for you 333666 and 240 or anyone who knows about guns,
I have an antique handgun which was my fathers. He passed away a long time ago of course and now its mine, but the thing is so old (late 1800s or early 1900s I think), that of course there is no paperwork or whatever on it. It is in perfect condition and I am sure it would fire just fine. Do I need to register it or does it follow under grandfather clause of some sort or should I even bother?

Is it black powder? If so, you may not need to.
If it is a revolver firing normal ammo and you have a question, do some research first on the internet before you call the cops.
What I would do is call another county from someone elses phone and ask questions suiting your situation. You may need to show a copy of a will or a letter from an executor auhorizibg you to take possession of it and then register it.
If you want to justkeep it in a safe, dont bother. If you want to go to a gun range, than you should definately find out first.
-
haha nah, my advice is to not be one of those nuts with a silo full of supplies in your yard, walking around with a rifle talking about the end of days.
rather, just live a happy life, and keep a little extra on hand should anything ever happen.
Hell, living in FL, we have a few hurricane scares every year. Just keeping a little food and water onhand (enough for a week or two) means I'm not spending a whole day in line at walmart, fighting with idiots for a few gallons of water.
I remember sitting in a flooded trailer park with no power for a week after hurricane charley hit. living on doritoes and pepsi for a week, playing cards and just hanging out with the rifle by the side nodding at the vagrants and wanderers who passed thru. Those 8 gallons of water that had been sitting in the cabinet forever came in quite handy.

Its an old Colt Revolver 1872 model.
It looks like this:

I would like to fire it at a range but also was wondering if that devalues it somehow. Also, do you have to have a gun license or paper work to fire guns at a range? I`ve never been.
-
I dont know how NC works. But here in NYS you have to get a state permit listing your pistols on the permit.
Most ranges in NYS wont let you in the door unless you have the permit.
You have to check. Call a local range and they might give some good advice before calling the cops.
-
Here you go TA...you live in NC correct?
You guys are pretty free as far as firearms are concerned.
That is definitely a piece of old beauty that you have there.
1. It should have a serial number on it...that should help you in your search.
2. You don't have to have a liscense to shoot at a range. Just the range fees of the business and ammo of course too.
3. Firing a weapon doesn't devalue it. You should look for a collector or a restorative expert to see what the value of that fine piece of art is worth.

There are threads there with very knowledgeable people there that can lead you in the best direction with something that old.

Those North Carolinians are a bunch of pussies! Calling a state of emergency over a little snowfall?!
They should come visit Canada when North Westerlies bring arctic air masses in for a few days,
...and the temperatures drop to minus 40 degrees below... waterpipes break... freezing cars in place... and exposed skin freezes in a matter of seconds... good times.
