Residents Fumed Over Weekend Alcohol, Firearm Ban
King State Of Emergency Lifted Monday
KING, N.C. -- Residents in King were fumed over the weekend after a state of emergency declaration restricted the sale of alcohol and the carrying of firearms in vehicles.
King Police Chief Paula May said she’s received hundreds of threats related to the restrictions, which banned driving from 12 a.m. Sunday to 5 a.m.
The state of emergency for King was declared by members of the City Council after Stokes County authorities also declared a state of emergency.
Under North Carolina law, May said, when a state of emergency is put into place that includes a ban on driving, the sale of alcohol and carrying of firearms in vehicles is also banned.

OK people here it is! This is our future if we stand by and let our rights be taken away. A little common sense would go a long way to resolve this if it were not so diabolical in it's nature. Do we REALLY understand that our constitutional rights were usurped at will by those we elected. The only response these people will understand is at the ballot box. In order to get their attention we should vote against every encumbant no matter what party. If they were for it they should be voted out and if they were against it they should be voted out because they didn't stand up and have it stopped in it's tracks. Replacing all of them should be warning to the next batch that they work for us and we expect our constitutional rights to be defended against all enemies even if they reside in our state capital or our local sheriffs department or our mayors office. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL OUR DESTINY - IF WE CHOOSE TO USE IT.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Being female I have to say, unless you elect a "conservative" female to the job, this is what you get. Mom at home and Mom at the job! Paula needs to take her nurturing nature home where it belongs! Remember Katrina and that state of emergency? Door to door to confiscate weapons. The only ones left with a gun were the cops and the criminals. I wonder if those guns owners ever got their weapons returned to them.
