Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire State of Emergency? OMFG. Bev Purdue is a bee hatch.

Suspect it will put a damper on dove season that theoretically starts Saturday at noon, if the DoE is still in effect.


Not that anyone would enforce it, at least, I hope not, but the thought that a nit picker could pinch me because the governor needs some TV time, let alone the BS law to start with. aggravating


Stupidity at its finest.

RWE;

Call, inbound.

I'd like to see that AG's opinion, too, if you can provide the link.

5. Areas of Emergency and Riot

It is also a misdemeanor under North Carolina law for a person to transport or possess, off

his or her own premises, a dangerous weapon in an area during a declared state of emergency,

or in the vicinity of a riot. N.C. Gen. Stat. � 14-288.7 A concealed handgun permit does not

allow a permittee to carry a weapon in these areas. N.C. Gen. Stat. � 14-415.11(c)

N.C. Gen. Stat. � 14-415.11(c) A permit does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun in the areas prohibited by G.S. 14-269.2, 14-269.3, 14-269.4, and 14-277.2, in an area prohibited by rule adopted under G.S. 120-32.1,......

Take a single shot/beater class shotgun and only enough shells.......

IF they confiscate you are not out much.

We've received a number of questions about dove hunting season. Executive Order 62 did not trigger the provisions of G.S. 14-288.7 and there was never any intention by the issuance of Executive Order 62 to restrict the transportation or possession of off premises firearms. The order was written in such a way that the rights of North Carolina gun owners were not infringed upon.

RALEIGH, N.C. (Sept. 2, 2010) � Despite North Carolina�s current state of emergency, dove season will open as scheduled at noon on Sept. 4.

After Gov. Perdue declared a state of emergency on Wednesday due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Earl, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission received numerous calls from the public asking if dove hunting will be allowed beginning this weekend. The Governor�s Office has informed the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission that nothing in the current emergency declaration, Executive Order 62, invokes any provision of law that would prohibit lawful hunting activities, including transporting a firearm to and from a hunting location (subject to local emergency ordinances to the contrary). Hunters in coastal areas should stay tuned to local media for the latest updates on Hurricane Earl and related emergency conditions that could affect the safety of themselves or others.
