Here is a link to an article where our Governor declared a state of emergency the day before hurricane Earle was supposed to hit, signed Friday I believe. Declaring the state of emergency is not the bad part, I feel that the worst part is the suspension of rights for all firearms and ammunition outside of the home or business, becoming illegal during such time even for CCW holders. I personally didn't realize and was never told until I'd read it in the newspaper last winter, that my license was conditional in this manner. I do not understand how the state can recognize our 2nd Amendment rights and still approve such measures. It seems that maybe some of our current politicians are starting to think like those from a couple other states. Sure, technically we can still have our guns, but only inside our homes. Surely there would be times during a SOE that we could need to go outside for whatever reason, or in our car. If for instance, we were evacuating (if needed), it sure would be nice to have a pistol with me. I feel that during a true emergency is when we may need our guns the most.
And, to top it all off, our government officials refuse to change the law.
