Many here are probably aware that NCWRC regulations restrict the carrying of handguns outside of hunting season to .22 short, long or long rifle with a barrel of 7 inches of less. As nearlly all National Forest areas in North Carolina are classified as "Gamelands" this greatly restricts one's self-defense options when engaged in legal outdoor recreation in our National Forests. Currently the NCWRC is accepting comments via public meetings on online. Hopefully a healthy number of gun enthusiasts will take the time to comment on the need to change this regulation.

Take some time, voice your opinion and help to bring an end to this unnecessary assult on your 2A rights.
