In an emergency, let’s increase dependence
Via Publicola:
At 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, morning a state of emergency was declared in Northampton County.
Tuesday, Gov. Mike Easley declared North Carolina to be under a state of emergency…Effective as of 8 a.m. today, the sale, consumption, transportation or possession of alcohol is prohibited in Northampton County ‘except possession and consumption is allowed on a person’s own premises.’ Additionally, ‘there shall be no sale or purchase of any type of firearm or ammunition, or any possession of such items along with any type of explosive off owner’s own premises.
In a state of emergency, it is important to ban guns and booze? Abysmal.

It’s North Carolina… without drinkin’ and shootin’, there’ll be nothing to do!
Seriously, though, this is idiotic. I fail to see any upside.

Um, in crisis situations is when you need the booze and the guns the most. Hellfire…where is that Governor Easley from anyway? California?
