The Lee County Board of Democrat Commissioners conveniently held their Board meeting at 10:00 AM that excluded the two Republican Commissioners who actually have full time jobs. The former commissions met at 6:00 PM thus allowing the tax-paying hard working citizens to attend.
Unfortunately, the Board voted to 5 to 0 to rescind the recently passed ordinance that would allow Concealed Handgun Permit holders to legally carry in county buildings and property. The second reading of the resolution to rescind Concealed Handgun Permit holders on County property will be 4:00 PM December 15th at the Lee County Government Center 106 Hillcrest Drive, Sanford, NC.
I attended the meeting telephonically but was unable to vote. Lee County has approximately 350 employees of which 58 are sworn Law Enforcement officers within the Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Tracy Carter told me, "he knows of no distrust amongst his officers for Concealed Carry citizens." I emphasized the fact that Lee County's 2,758 law-abiding Concealed Handgun Permit holders are being discriminated by the less than 300 employees out of baseless fear and emotions.
Sheriff Carter stated to me, "These are not the citizens we need to be worried about." I shared that with the Board as well the fact that the the Commission is responsible to the law abiding citizens of Lee County, 2,758 of them who have a Concealed Handgun Permit and are proven upstanding law abiding citizens. To which Commissioner Robert Rieves Sr. remarked, "that is a moot point."
Please remain vigilant!
