Entitled the Omnibus Gun Bill, the key feature of HB 746 was permitless concealed carry. As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, the <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/open-carry-in-north-carolina.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Carolina Supreme Court ruled back in 1922<\/a> that it was the right of North Carolinians to carry a firearm openly. Since the passage of HB 746 in the House there has been no action on the bill in the State Senate. It seems the Senate Republicans under the control of Majority Leader Phil Berger want the bill to die from inaction. They did nothing regarding the bill in 2017 and now it seems nothing more will happen regarding the bill in the 2018 short session.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that it wasn&#8217;t too long ago that both houses of the General Assembly were solidly Democratic. Thanks to the efforts of conservatives and especially gun owners, Republicans hold a super majority in both houses. Grass Roots North Carolina issued an alert this evening asking people to remind Majority Leader Phil Berger and the rest of the Senate Republicans just who brought them to the dance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grnc.org\/defend-your-rights\/recent-grnc-alerts\/1003-grnc-alert-republicans-plan-2018-snub-of-gun-voters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From GRNC:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\n<div class=\"page-header\" style=\"background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 20px 0px 30px; padding-bottom: 9px;\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"name\" style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 26px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px;\">\nGRNC Alert: Republicans Plan 2018 Snub of Gun Voters<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"articleBody\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\">\n<table style=\"background-color: blue; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(213, 213, 213) !important; max-width: 100%; width: 595px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 0px solid rgb(213, 213, 213) !important; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>CAMPAIGNING REPUBLICANS&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/><strong>SNUB SECOND AMENDMENT<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.06px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Senate Republicans may be planning to sell out gun owners\u2026 again!&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<p>Strong signals received from Senate leaders suggest that&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"><strong>Republicans plan to wrap up 2018 without any action on pro-gun bill, HB 746<\/strong><\/span><strong>!<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes, you read that right.

There are no carefully parsed words, no glossy campaign mailers, no slick radio ads that will outweigh action in the Senate where real action is entirely possible. Inaction on the other hand speaks volumes.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.06px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><br \/>Pass HB 746 this session. If you don\u2019t, you will lose my vote. And if you have any doubts about the significance of the gun vote, consider Congressman Pittenger\u2019s narrow 2018 Primary loss, after GRNC recommended his opponent due to Mr. Pittenger\u2019s recent anti-gun votes in the U.S. House.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.06px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><br \/>The gun vote makes a difference, and gun owners pay attention to GRNC\u2019s recommendations.
