NEW BERN - The Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association held a meeting about proposed gun control laws Tuesday evening, and local law enforcement leaders were asked about their thoughts on the issue.

Close to 100 (It was about 135-140) people showed up for the meeting, held at the Bridgeton Hotel in New Bern. Residents asked Craven County Sheriff Jerry Monette about his stance on gun control.

Resident Mark Jones was one of two people who asked the sheriff why he hasn't signed a pledge to protect Craven County citizens from constitutional infringements, specifically against the Second Amendment.

"I take my oath of office seriously," Sheriff Monette said. "I feel like I have done that and will continue to do that."


But Jones said he did not like what he heard.
