Calling NC "gun-friendly" is a bit of a stretch. Here's the problem with NC's constitutional authors not thinking that there was a right to carry concealed.
At the time of writing NC's constitution, NC was a slave state. The control of arms was designed to not only keep the slaves disarmed, but it was used to keep freedmen disarmed too. NC had no control over slave owners freeing their slaves, but they sure as hell didn't want them walking around armed like everyone else and acting as if they were human beings or full citizens. In practice, those laws were never enforced against the white folk.
Democraps never seem to stray far from their racist roots. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
