A pro-gun House is the firewall against gun bans, magazine limits, and the next round of ATF overreach. Lose the House, and that firewall is gone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jennifer Balkcom has been a consistent supporter of the Second Amendment. Candidates notice who shows up for them, and so do the media and the opposition. A strong turnout of gun owners on Monday sends a clear message: in the mountains of North Carolina, the gun vote is organized, energized, and ready to win this seat.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What you can do<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Come out to Outpost Mountain Outfitters any time between 10 and 2. Stop by, shake Jennifer&#8217;s hand, say hello to Paul, and let her know gun owners have her back. Bring a friend, bring your family, and forward this alert to every gun owner you know in western North Carolina.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Early voting is around the corner. Races like this are won by the people who show up, starting Monday<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in Waynesville, Sylva, Franklin, Bryson City, or even Asheville, I urge you to come out to Whittier on Monday and meet Jennifer Balkcom. The Complementary Spouse and I will both be there.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State Rep.
