Dumb Ass Ideas

One of the most anti gun state legislators Deborah Ross has introduced a poison pill amendment to House Bill 111 that would allow CC permit holders the ability to carry inside a restaurant that serves alcohol provided they didn’t drink. Currently it is not allowed. The Ross Amendment would require servers to ask people if they are CC when they order alcohol.
This is clearly an effort to discourage law abiding citizens from exercising rights granted to them by the creator. Rep Ross is the same individual who over the years has successfully blocked the castle doctrine here in North Carolina.

Anti-gun Reps. Deborah Ross (D-Wake, GRNC 0-star), Bill Faison (D-Durham, **), and Larry Hall (D-Durham, 0-star) tried to tie up the bill with repeated questioning and with contradictory and shifting amendments. Ross demanded that, in restaurants, servers ask diners ordering alcohol whether they are carrying firearms. In a confusing array of amendments to amendments, ultimately the committee passed an amendment to the bill under which restaurants MAY but are not REQUIRED to ask those ordering alcohol of their status. As noted below, GRNC will vociferously oppose even this weakened language on the House floor.

I guess I’m a bit confused with Republicans in control why are these ridiculous amendments from these totally useless anti gun democraps are even being considered? We can’t compromise on what is right we just need to get this bill passed. How stupid would it be if every time you went to order a beer or a glass of wine if your server had to ask you if you were carrying.
Rep Ross even tried to say she was speaking on behalf of the Restaurant Association till their lobbyist voiced opposition to her ridiculous amendment.
