This morning, I received an copy of the “Forsyth Insider” an electronic newsletter paid for by the Committee to Re-Elect Dave Plyler. The article about the proposed carry ordinance currently being debated by the Forsyth County Commissioners caught my eye. It is well know that Commissioner Plyler is opposed to allowing law abiding, conceal carry permit holders from exercising their God given right to self-defense while enjoying our parks. He supports an outright ban and is expected to break party lines by voting with his Democrat colleagues against the Second Amendment.

There are two references to “truth” in the newsletter. I thought it only right to provide you with the truth by correcting an egregious error perpetrated in the article. Commissioner Plyler states that the proposed pro-carry ordinance would include: “handguns (pistols), bowie knife, dirk, dagger, sling shot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, stun gun, or other deadly weapon of “like kind” unless otherwise authorized by law.”

This is totally false! The ordinance championed by Commissioner Whiteheart would only include handguns. The other weapons quoted by Plyler are already prohibited by NCGS 14-269. In fact, the aforementioned “weapons” are prohibited to be carried concealed “except when upon that person’s own premises”. I wanted to share the “truth” with everyone, please pass it along and please encourage your Republican County Commissioners to support the Second Amendment.

Obamacare expands government-controlled health care — passing the cost to future generations of taxpayers — and weakens families’ choice of coverage. Larry Patterson describes the impact Obamacare will have on his family and the concerns he has with the new law.

In 2006, when Indiana small-business owner Scott Womack purchased a development agreement to expand his IHOP franchise into Ohio, he had no idea Congress would pass a massive overhaul of the health care system four years later. Today, one year after that legislative overhaul became law, Womack is very aware of Obamacare — and of its effects on his plans for growth.

Like most seniors, Ann Lorenz relies on Medicare as she copes with serious health care challenges, including Parkinson’s Disease. Ann sees a number of doctors and depends on a variety of prescription drugs and therapies to stay independent. She worries that Obamacare threatens her access to doctors, treatment options and insurance plans — and her neurologist shares her concerns.
