In anticipation of this, Grass Roots North Carolina-Political Victory Fund has released <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/2014-Candidate-Evaluations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their candidate evaluations.<\/a> They have also released their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/grnc-pvf\/grnc-pvf-alertsupdates\/621-grnc-pvf-alert-4-14-14-candidate-recommendations-corrected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">candidate recommendations in contested primaries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the Republican primary to face the vulnerable Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), they have a difference of opinion with the NRA-PVF. They have endorsed <a href=\"http:\/\/gregbrannon.com\/second-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Greg Bannon of Cary<\/a> while the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrapvf.org\/grades-endorsements\/local-grades.aspx?state=NC&amp;county=&amp;feddistrict=NC11&amp;sSenateDistrict=NC050&amp;sHouseDistrict=NC119&amp;city=Waynesville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NRA-PVF has endorsed NC House Speaker Thom Tillis of Charlotte.<\/a> It is a Tea Party v. GOP establishment, an outsider v. an insider sort of thing. I think either man would be good for the Second Amendment with Brannon saying he&#8217;s looking for laws to repeal while major gun rights bills including the castle doctrine have passed the NC General Assembly since Tills became the Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>While GRNC-PVF has traditionally only concerned themselves with either statewide or legislative offices, this year they have made recommendations in a handful of sheriffs&#8217; races. It looks to me like they are looking for strong opposite party pro-gun candidates to oppose those sheriffs who killed the scrapping of the pistol purchase permits. I think it is high time that some of these sheriffs learn that actions have (electoral) consequences.<\/p>\n<p>According to their alert, they have made recommendations in 40 contested races and will be spending approximately $100,000 in their primary efforts. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/grnc-pvf\/grnc-pvf-alertsupdates\/621-grnc-pvf-alert-4-14-14-candidate-recommendations-corrected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These efforts<\/a> include:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i><br \/>\n    * Mailing GRNC-PVF Gun Rights Voter Guides to nearly 17,000 GRNC members;<\/p>\n<p>    * Mailing nearly 50,000 postcard election alerts to gun voters in races across the state;<\/p>\n<p>    * Running radio spots in several key races; and<\/p>\n<p>    * Conducting tens of thousands of automated phone calls in key races; and<\/p>\n<p>    * Sending email alerts to over 100,000 gun-owning NC voters!<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>GRNC is an all volunteer organization as is the GRNC-PVF.
