Abstract:

A new state law, House Bill 937, a 17-page comprehensive firearms measure, allows conceal-carry permit holders to bring guns into restaurants and bars. The law also allows restaurant and bar owners to opt out of the measure if a gun banning sign is prominently displayed. Proponents of the gun law, like Grass Roots North Carolina, are organizing boycotts against these bars and restaurants. NCGunowners.com is using online bullying against the eateries, calling them \"target-rich\" and those who oppose the law \"fat bitches\" and \"aging arm flappers.\"
