NC: Chapel Hill leaders question gun law; proponents threaten to sue

A child is shot in this country every 30 minutes.” Kaaren Haldeman, leader of the North Carolina chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense, is addressing an unusually reticent Chapel Hill Town Council.
“While we’ve been sitting here, a child has been shot and killed,” says Haldeman, whose group advocates for tighter gun control laws. “Accidents, negligence, intentional shootings. More guns in more places mean more gun injury and death.”
Haldeman’s pointed statements come moments after a representative for Raleigh-based gun activists Grass Roots N.C. promised to sue the Town of Chapel Hill if officials opt out of several ordinance changes that would align town code with North Carolina’s controversial new gun law.
Passed last year by a Republican majority in the N.C. General Assembly, the law took effect Oct. 1, 2013. It limits a municipality’s ability to prohibit people with valid conceal-carry permits from bringing handguns to public spaces, including parks and greenways. As of now, town ordinances do just that. But a draft ordinance distributed at the meeting opens up 17 public spaces, including local playgrounds, to permit holders.
