Say Uncle has an update on Paper Protection Reform Act, not to be confused with Ravenwood's Law regarding Second Amendment debate and Wild West comparisons.
The Paper Protection Reform Act was written back in February, where I suggested that people receive restraining orders should also be permitted to carry a gun (regardless of conflicting state or local laws that deny that right).
Under this new Paper Protection Reform Act, a restraining order would restore the basic firearms rights of anyone it protects. Once the judge signs off on it, it would become a defacto gun license for both purchasing and carrying.The Charlotte Observer reports that this bill came up recently in North Carolina.
The N.C. House is slated to hear a bill today that initially would have required sheriffs to concissue temporary ealed handgun permits to those who get protective court orders. It also would have required judges to tell domestic violence victims they could get the permits.By "would have" they mean that the N.C. Sheriff's Ass. successfully pushed to have the provision removed. Allowing the sheep defend themselves is bad for the shepherd.
UPDATE: Changed proposal to Paper Protection Reform Act on 10/06/08 to eliminate confusion with Ravenwood's Law.
There is also a third law I have noticed when talking to gun grabbers:
As a discussion about guns frows longer, the probability of a comparison between guns and gun owner's penis size (as being inversely proportional in size) approaches one.

Alas, d*mned if you do, d*mned if you don't.
