Upcoming Restore the Constitution Rally in North Carolina

This just in from Daniel Almond:

Mike,

Can you please link this announcement about the upcoming RTC rally in NC Aug 14th?
I'll be there. This is an opportunity for folks who, for whatever reason, were not able to make the 4-19 event.

Atlas Shrug said...: First, I'm no lawyer.

Second, here is a good summary of the laws here in NC:

http://www.ncdoj.com/getdoc/32344299-a2a7-4ae5-99fd-9018262f64ac/2007-NC-Firearms-gun-Laws.aspx

(FWIW, the author of this is a generally good guy who is a shooter and member of a gun club that I'm in.)

Third, I think this statue is the one that Chris posts about:

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter_14/GS_14-277.2.html

Based upon my reading of it, while it's true that NC prohibits the carrying of ANY "dangerous weapon" as below:

"upon any public place owned or under the control of the State or any of its political subdivisions"

It appears that this prohibition does not apply at areas under Federal control, again per my reading.

I will seek further confirmation, but this is my understanding at present.

Keep your powder dry,

Dennis308 said...: FYI this is the wording of the N.C.Law on carrying at protests.
thank you Atlas for the link

§ 14‑277.2. Weapons at parades, etc., prohibited.

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person participating in, affiliated with, or present as a spectator at any parade, funeral procession, picket line, or demonstration upon any private health care facility or upon any public place owned or under the control of the State or any of its political subdivisions to willfully or intentionally possess or have immediate access to any dangerous weapon. Violation of this subsection shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor. It shall be presumed that any rifle or gun carried on a rack in a pickup truck at a holiday parade or in a funeral procession does not violate the terms of this act.

(b) For the purposes of this section the term "dangerous weapon" shall include those weapons specified in G.S. 14‑269, 14‑269.2, 14‑284.1, or 14‑288.8 or any other object capable of inflicting serious bodily injury or death when used as a weapon.

(c) The provisions of this section shall not apply to a person exempted by the provisions of G.S. 14‑269(b) or to persons authorized by State or federal law to carry dangerous weapons in the performance of their duties or to any person who obtains a permit to carry a dangerous weapon at a parade, funeral procession, picket line, or demonstration from the sheriff or police chief, whichever is appropriate, of the locality where such parade, funeral procession, picket line, or demonstration is to take place. (1981, c. 684, s. 1; 1983, c. 633; 1993, c. 412, s. 2; c. 539, s. 174; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 1997‑238, s. 4.)

tensmiths said...: just posted this at the muster4-19 site:

http://ncdoj.gov/Files/About-DOJ/Law-Enforcement-Liaison/2007-NC-Fi...

See section II, E, 4, Events Occurring in Public Places. Expressly prohibited at public rallies within NC jurisdiction, which quits at the entrance to the park where federal regulations take over. DO NOT have public rallies on public property. We know that already. This is what led to the "have it on private property" line of thought. Maybe next time, in another state, this might be necessary. That's exactly why we do this inside National Park Service parks. It's the ingress and egress that that need special attention.; June 8, 2010 at 11:11 AM

Anonymous said...: I'd get a lawyer's read on this. National Park rules mimic state laws. No idea if that can derail things or not, but because of uncertainty, the organizer needs to get definitive counsel.; June 8, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Anonymous said...: so let me get this straight;
you all are going to "protest" again by asking permission of your masters ...er the government and by obeying the rules set in place by the tyrants...er political leadership?

Thought comes to mind:
WHAT WOULD THE FOUNDERS HAVE DONE?; June 9, 2010 at 2:50 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
