I knew this was inevitable after all the hyperbole manufactured and disseminated in the wake of the St. Skittles event.
Anti-gun legislators in the North Carolina House have introduced House Bill 1192, a bill that would gut the “Stand Your Ground” provisions of House Bill 650, the NRA-backed omnibus firearm bill that was enacted just last year. Please contact your state Representative TODAY and urge him or her to stand up for the right to self-defense for law-abiding North Carolinians, and oppose HB 1192.
House Bill 1192, sponsored by state Representative Alma Adams (D-58), was introduced in an apparent attempt to exploit the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida that has received so much sensationalistic anti-gun coverage from the media. This bill, if passed and enacted into law would eliminate the protections established in HB 650 for a law-abiding citizen who uses a firearm for self-defense if faced with a violent criminal attacker while away from the home. The NRA strongly opposes this bill, and will work to defeat this legislation along with any other attempts to weaken self-defense laws in North Carolina.

Fortunately, I don't think it will go anywhere with the new Republican legislative majority. But, infuriating all the same...the contempt these people have for individual liberty.

One thing, y'all know exactly whom to campaign against come next election.

They've already pulled a few boners, so I don't trust them. At all. And my House Rep. is a friggin Lefty.

That's the thing about libs--one event or situation and they're ready to rip up everyone else's rights. And how often do those events or situations turn out to be bogus?
-
Yep. That's because they have no real principles to speak of. They're simply opportunists seeking power and graft, and if you look at the history of liberalism it drifts from one ephemeral cause to another, some of them directly in opposition to each other.

Thanks for the tip-off on this, Glock.
I went through both bills (1192 and 650) and what they're looking to repeal is the legal protection when defending oneself with a weapon ANYWHERE BUT IN ONE'S OWN HOME, and to repeal the prohibition against civil suits against the defender.

Screw 'em. Adams et al can go outside and play hide and drop dead!
