This is why the media sucks...

From my hometown CBS affiliate:

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/4512231/

The title of the article is NCSU students want to pack heat on campus. Although the article focuses mostly on students wanting to carry on campus, the title of the story from one of Obama's best campaigning media affiliates just makes it seem as if we're a bunch of gangbanging drug dealers.

The only thing is that in NC, this has the support of most of the state, except of the ultra-liberal legislature and governor.

Such is NC . . . I lived there for over 25 years . . . nothing changed . . .

Oh hell, another Raleigh area native!

I come from Youngsville myself.

Unfortunately, I don't see this going anywhere in NC. I didn't realize just how wacky the gun and carry laws were there until I moved out here. Granted, it's not California or anything, but still...

Yeah it's almost insane. I'm from New Hill, which down Old U.S. 1 from Apex (when you think of the boonies, you think of my hometown).

My neighbor's CCP application was denied last month. He has no prior convictions or mental health issues. He's also a retired LTC from the Army.

Yup, I know New Hill, out by Shearon Harris. Used to go fishing (and occasionally duck hunting) out on Harris Lake.

Yup, I spent many a Friday and Saturday night out there during high school...usually until the Sheriff came out there and dispersed us.
