Is NRA Money Bottling Up "Stand Your Ground" Repeal in North Carolina?

Submitted by Adam Smith on Jul 13, 2012

With the North Carolina legislative session ending Friday, one bill that never saw the light of day was an attempt to repeal "Stand Your Ground provisions" that passed in 2011.

This house bill (HB 1192) never made it out of the Judiciary subcommittee where it was introduced in May. Was the bill buried because the NRA has spent years building influence in the state and key legislators have benefitted and stand to benefit politically by supporting NRA positions?

Let’s look at the facts:

• NRA
• Stand Your Ground
