Today a bill was filed in NC for an extra special concealed carry permit that would basically allow permit holders to ignore all anti-ccw signage in the state… and… it would require them to carry a CCW badge issued by their sheriff.

Months back we received news that there were two large sporting goods stores coming to the Triangle, and I speculated that it would be Bass Pro Shops, and Academy Sports, but it appears that I was incorrect, and I’m ok with that.
