NC State Senate Voter Guide

     Dear Friends,
     Part two of my voter guide covers the positions on the 2nd Amendment for the North Carolina Senate candidates competing within the 2nd Congressional District.  My comments about endorsements and grades that I made in my posting on federal races apply here as well.
