Prepared Carolinian

On 8 May, NC Governor extended the "stay at home policy" for another two weeks and will re-evaluate on 22 May. For that reason, Prepared Carolinian has canceled the 23 May class. We hope the situation changes quickly so that the 06 Jun class can go ahead as planned.

Until then stay healthy and safe.

Prepared Carolinian will not be running any Concealed Carry classes or range dates until it is declared safe to do so by our local officials. Once we get the go-ahead I will run two classes back to back in order to clear up the backlog of folks wanting to participate in the training.

for now, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy

📲🦠 NC 2-1-1 is now a resource for people to call for assistance related to the COVID-19 coronavirus.

ℹ️ NC 2-1-1 is an information and referral service that families and individuals can call to obtain free and confidential information on health and human services resources within their community. NC 2-1-1 operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and resources are available in most languages.

“Services like NC 2-1-1 are critical during times of emergency,” said Governor Cooper. “North Carolinians can now call 2-1-1 to get the information they need while we continue working together to prevent the spread of this virus.”

North Carolinians can text COVIDNC to 898211 to receive general information and updates about COVID-19. Sign up now to get regular alerts on the rapidly evolving situation and North Carolina’s response.

NC 2-1-1 can refer callers to the organizations in their local community best equipped to address their specific health and human services needs including food, shelter, energy assistance, housing, parenting resources, health care, employment, substance abuse treatment, as well as specific resources for older adults and for persons with disabilities, and much more. Simply dial 2-1-1 or TTY 888-892-1162 for assistance.

NC 2-1-1 cannot provide direct medical services, and COVID-19 can only be diagnosed by a health care professional. If you suspect you or someone you care for may have symptoms or have been exposed to the virus, you should contact your health care provider. If you do not have a provider, you can call your local health department, free and charitable clinics or a Federally Qualified Health Clinic for guidance.

People should only call 9-1-1 if they are experiencing an emergency. 9-1-1 centers across North Carolina have been receiving general questions and other non-emergency calls related to COVID-19. Please do not call 9-1-1 unless you have an emergency.

For the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 in North Carolina, go to ncdhhs.gov/coronavirus.

Due to anticipated high call volume, those seeking general information about COVID-19 are strongly encouraged to sign up for texts. People who are trying to locate specific services would benefit by calling. To learn more about NC 2-1-1, visit nc211.org.

I want to thank the 65 North Carolinians who attended yesterdays NC Concealed Carry class. Your attentiveness and participation speaks volumes to the importance you place on being a responsible gun owner.

I would also like to thank Shaun Blake from U.S Law Shield for taking time from his busy schedule to provide a presentation on the importance of Carry Insurance. He did a great job!.

Lastly, I would like to thank Corey from U.S Law Shield who drove over an 1 1/2 hours to sit in the class all day in order to answer students questions during breaks.

Thanks again to all.

2020 starting off with a bang! In our first class of the New Year, 26 more North Carolinians have completed the training for their Concealed Carry Permits.

Great Job all.
