"Another piece of historic legislation was signed on the NCNG Museum's Field Desk this morning, with Governor Pat McCrory signing HB 371. This bill allows service members with conceal carry handgun permits to carry on State property. This permits us to protect you in the event of another terrorist attack. The bill also allows victims of a terrorist assault to sue for damages."

I can't be more proud of being a North Carolinian. Our Governor, Pat McCrory, is beyond awesome and had our best interest in our mind. This will let North Carolina National Guardsmen carry their pistol if they have a CCW Permit into Armories and other state training areas. KUDOs to NC and the GOV.

Just to add to this only those authorized to will be able to carry concealed. It will require an endorsement for each soldier from the State Adjutant General.

Okay so how is someone going to get money from terrorist? The last part of this bill seems to be padding so he looks better.

"The bill also allows victims of a terrorist assault to sue for damages. “It gives a means to go after the purse strings for not only those who perpetrate a terrorist act, but those who aid and abet them,” I see financial complications for a lot of family members of anyone accused of a "terrorist" act... ie a son who lives with his parents that does something considered "terroristic" (hey! I made a new word!), then technically, his family could possibly be found guilty of aiding and abetting if "evidence" is found in the home, even if the family aren't aware as they would have to prove that they weren't...

Federal govt will never do this. They would have to admit that guns could also save lives! Kudos to NC.

In this situation is there an Army or DoD policy around uniformed SM concealed carry? If so, and it differs from this law, which takes precedence; UCMJ, federal law, or state law?

CPT Private RallyPoint Member I think it is a step in the right direction and I agree the Federal Government doesn't have what it takes to pass such legislation for our Federal Troops. Way to lead the way NC!

This needs to happen in all states, which may...maybe... force the federal government to do the same.
