North Carolina Proposes Dangerous Regulations For Concealed Carry Classes

From Bearing Arms:

The North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission is the body that oversees (among other things) the roughly 2,600 firearm instructors throughout the state, and several months ago the commission got an earful from many of them over proposed rules that would have introduced sweeping changes and additional burdens for anyone teaching a concealed carry course. As drafted, the rules would have required every instructor to give the state 30 days’ notice before hosting a concealed carry course as well as keeping a list of all attendees for up to two years afterward; information that would have to be handed over to the state during the course of any investigation into the instructor.

Protests In North Carolina

From Winston-Salem Journal:

Tuesday’s ReOpenNC protest was the second of its kind. The first, held last week, attracted a crowd of perhaps 100, a Raleigh city cop offered by way of an unofficial estimate.
This one grew exponentially, its message spread like a contagion via social media .
Similar protests and rallies, no doubt egged on by the same online voices, have attracted attention in such states as Michigan and Pennsylvania while others — Florida, Georgia and South Carolina,we’re looking at you — rush headlong to reopen.
