KING, N.C. -- Authorities lifted curfew and alcohol restrictions in King on Sunday, but said a state of emergency declaration remained in effect until Monday.
Authorities said the state of emergency declaration would continue until Monday 9 a.m., barring any unforeseen circumstances or severe changes.
Effective Sunday afternoon, alcohol restrictions and a curfew were lifted. All other remaining restrictions would continue until Monday, said Paula May, King police chief.
Other restrictions included a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person's own premises.
Also on Sunday, the emergency shelter established by the American Red Cross at West Stokes High School was closed.
"We appreciate the support and cooperation of everyone with our efforts to keep the citizens of King safe," May said.
The state of emergency was declared Friday due to severe weather.

Of course I immediately looked for demographic information on King, NC to see if it was poor, or struggling, whatever. A rapidly growing population of 6,900 which while not rich (median household income $56,393), is not doing badly. Mostly white. Very church-going no doubt, part of the way things are in that neck of the woods.

Of course, they are all blaming the "gun ban" on liberals and Obama. I must admit that I cannot fathom why on earth they would have a curfew, plus alcohol and gun ban. Really sounds like some officials are watching too much television and listening to too many rumors.

Ignorance is a terrible thing to see.
