More than a dozen SurvivalBlog readers sent us a television news piece about King, North Carolina (in the Winston-Salem region) banning the purchase of guns, or carrying guns outside one’s home, during the recent heavy snowstorm. Here is a quote: “‘Other restrictions included a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person’s own premises.” [Emphasis added.] Needless to say, this will have some major political repercussions, once all the snow gets shoveled. A police chief will likely have to find new employment, after making such a monumentally-bad judgment call. It is noteworthy that there are more than 80 pages of comments about the story at the television station’s web site.
