No Gun Rights in King, North Carolina
The small city of King, North Carolina declared a state of emergency due to the winter storm that hammered the mid Atlantic region of the country a few days ago. As part of this state of emergency declaration, the city empowered itself to severely infringed upon residents Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. The city enacted many restrictions including a curfew, restrictions on alcohol, and a ban on selling or purchasing firearms and ammunition or the possession of any weapon off of one’s own property. According to a local news agency,
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.
It was so nice of the city on Sunday to give residents back the right to leave their house or buy a beer, but they still denied residents the right to bear arms off of their own property for another day.
