Their response may not always win them friends but it does put politicians on notice about going back on your word.<\/p>\n<p>Sheriffs in North Carolina have been dragging their feet on issuing pistol purchase permits. What used to be an immediate issuance has now started to drag into weeks and months because of a new requirement for a mental health check. I spoke to a client recently in Henderson County who waited over four months for his pistol purchase permit.<\/p>\n<p>What GRNC sought was a sun-setting of the paper medical-release provisions once the records had been digitized. Sen. Shirley Randleman (R-Stokes, Surry, Wilkes) had inserted these provisions into a bill that was due for a floor vote. Now she has taken what she wanted in that bill and transferred it into another bill due for a floor vote and left the sunset provision to die on the vine.<\/p>\n<p>More in the GRNC alert below.

Randleman was a key figure in<br \/>\nhelping GRNC fix the NRA\u2019s previous blunder, a major blunder that was<br \/>\ngiving sheriff departments cover to flout state law and force citizens<br \/>\nto wait inordinately extensive (and illegal) lengths of time to receive<br \/>\npistol<br \/>\npurchase permits (PPP). Randleman helped to insert the administrative<br \/>\nfix to this problem into <a href=\"http:\/\/paracom.paramountcommunication.com\/ct\/36007784:WPLKz-YNX:m:1:345463350:2401D25013248E07602ED0D202C8F83B:r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S89<\/a>,<br \/>\n a bill that, at the time, was sure to receive a<br \/>\nhearing and a floor vote.

Randleman to<br \/>\ncontinue to<br \/>\nsupport. You see, this week, Randleman moved her favorite projects from<br \/>\nS89 to another bill, another bill that will surely receive a hearing and<br \/>\n a<br \/>\nvote. However, the medical-reporting fix must not have been one of her<br \/>\nfavorites after all, because she left it where it was, and now it is<br \/>\nbelieved<br \/>\nthat S89 is going to be left to languish and die without a vote.

I was sure you were going to<br \/>\nhelp the voters end all of that, but I was clearly wrong. It appears you<br \/>\n have<br \/>\nsold out gun owners, and I am incensed.&nbsp; Please understand that the<br \/>\nlittle trick you just pulled did not go unnoticed. I am fully aware that<br \/>\n you<br \/>\nmoved all of your favorite projects to another bill, but have left the<br \/>\nmedical-reporting fix in S89, where it will now surely languish and die.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                     I<br \/>\nam<br \/>\ndemanding that you explain your about-face on this legislation, and I\u2019m<br \/>\ninsisting that you find a way to return the medical-reporting fix to a<br \/>\nbill that will receive a hearing and a vote. <\/p>\n<p>                                            I will be paying very close<br \/>\nattention to this issue through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina. <\/p>\n<p>Respectfully,&nbsp; <br \/>                                                                     <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0000cc\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" style=\"background-color: #0000cc; color: white; font-family: 'Arial Black','Avant Garde'; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;\" width=\"99%\">\n<h3>\n<span style=\"color: white;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black;\">DELIVER THIS MESSAGE TO <br \/>                                                                     SEN.

Is it really<br \/>\ntoo much to ask that you support gun owners on such a small thing, like<br \/>\nthis<br \/>\nsimple administrative fix? This is a minor item that will make a major<br \/>\ndifference to gun rights voters, and it serves to bring our state\u2019s<br \/>\nbackground check system into the twenty-first century. <\/p>\n<p>                                                      I will continue to<br \/>\n pay very close attention to this issue through alerts from Grass Roots<br \/>\nNorth<br \/>\nCarolina. <\/p>\n<p>         Respectfully, &nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you attempt to double-cross Grass Roots North Carolina by going back on your word, they don&#8217;t take it&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[103,159,104,1853],"class_list":["post-970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-grass-roots-north-carolina","tag-grnc","tag-north-carolina","tag-st-sen-shirley-randleman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=970"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10753,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions\/10753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
