  • North Carolina: Emergency Powers Law Takes Effect this Monday

    A prepper friend of mine in NC sent me the following.

    The new emergency powers statute, passed in the North Carolina General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Bev Perdue (D) on June 11, takes effect on Monday, October 1.
    House Bill 843 made substantial changes to the North Carolina Emergency Management Act by adding critical language to the section of North Carolina statute that deals with what restrictions may be imposed during a declared state of emergency.
    Specifically, this new law states that the restrictions section
    "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

    -- Benjamin Franklin

        Hasnt it been a law in NC for years that you cant "openly carry" during or after a natural disaster? Also in other states? I can understand why.
        I heard this back during some bad ice storms they had. Its not like they are going to throw you in a fema camp for carrying but be discreet whilst the folks are restoring order. In a SHTF scenario, all bets are off. None of those on the horizon as far as I know.

        Thats what not tucking your shirt in is for! :)
        You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?
