In case you have been snowed in without power and haven't heard, on Friday, the residents of King, North Carolina, came under a "state of emergency" declared by the town's City Council due to the approaching bad weather.
This state of emergency automatically activated a state law that, according to the town's Chief of Police, automatically installs a curfew, restricts the sale of alcohol, and prohibits the transport of firearms in vehicles if a "driving ban" is called for as part of the "emergency."
A driving ban was included between midnight and 5am in this case, meaning that town residents were only allowed to bear arms on their own premises, and were thus prohibited from transporting them in their vehicles.
You can see the WXII12.com story here.
Here is an interesting video I found on YouTube:
Of course, many residents of the town were incensed at having their constitutional rights shat upon in such a tyrannical fashion, and expressed their displeasure in no uncertain terms.
Hopefully the residents of King, as well as citizens all across North Carolina, will now realize that elections do have consequences, and respond by removing the idiot politicians who are responsible for this unconstitutional action from office at their next opportunity. Perhaps sooner.
I see what happened in King this weekend to be a stark precursor to what life in Obama's Amerika could very well be like in the near future, as given the tyrannical leanings of those currently in power in D.C., I could easily envision something like this happening on a national scale.
The lesson here is that those of us to whom freedom and liberty still matter must remain ever vigilant, lest something similar happen to us.

Really?
For a site promoting freedom and liberty I wonder why my posts must be approved by a moderator
Verity Gait,
I regret that I had to activate comment moderation recently, but that was due primarily to spammers that were attempting to post things here that were not appropriate for my readers, most all of whom who are of age, but four of which are my nieces and nephew who range in age from nine to thirteen.
I hope you understand.
And thanks for stopping in.
And by all means, feel free to post away, unless you are that Korean spammer seeking to post links to kiddy porn sites on my blog.
-Dave
