Grass Roots North Carolina/Forum for Firearms Education nonprofit looking for volunteers to work Asheville gun show this week

From ammoland.com:

Asheville Gun Show – GRNC is still in need of volunteers to host the tables at the next gun show in Asheville to be held the weekend of March 26th & 27th.

It will be held at the Western NC Ag Center at I-26 @ Exit 40 (across from the Airport), 1301 Fanning Bridge Road, Fletcher, NC: www.wncagcenter.org

Let’s make an impressive showing as we break into this fertile ground. Volunteer some time, it is a rewarding experience.

Please set aside a couple of hours that weekend to help. If you have an articulate friend whom you would like to introduce to gun rights activism please invite her or him to work with us show weekend whether or not that person is a current member.

More on Grass Roots North Carolina:

Grass Roots North Carolina/Forum for Firearms Education is a non-profit, all volunteer organization devoted to educating the public about trends which abridge the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and engaging in grass roots activism to preserve those freedoms. Formed in 1994 to conduct a highly successful rally for the Second Amendment, GRNC has gone on to conduct projects like “Remember in November: A Gun Owner’s Guide to Voting,” bringing concealed carry to North Carolina

Several bills are working their way through the N.C. General Assembly. Here’s a round-up, from the Raleigh News & Observer:

One bill would make it legal for people with concealed handgun permits to take their weapons into restaurants and parks. The other would allow gun owners to lock their weapons in their cars while they’re at work. And a bill filed Thursday by Youngsville Republican Rep. Glen Bradley would exempt from all federal regulation any firearm, accessory and ammunition made and kept in North Carolina.

The proposals are among several bills introduced into the General Assembly this session that would expand the rights of gun owners. A House bill is under consideration that would allow legislators and other elected officials who have concealed-carry permits to take their handguns with them anywhere in the state, except where prohibited by federal law. Earlier this week, the Senate approved a “castle doctrine” bill that would give additional legal protection to those who use deadly force against intruders threatening their homes, vehicles or businesses.

Additional legislation that some gun advocates would like to see introduced this session includes eliminating the requirement that county sheriffs issue concealed-carry permits after federal background checks are performed, and allowing concealed handguns on college campuses.
