Gun limits in wake of snow storm
In the wake of the huge snow storm, the town of King, N.C., banned sale of alcohol, firearms, and ammo, and carrying of firearms . The alcohol ban was lifted in time for the Super Bowl. So far as I can see, no other jurisdiction (including DC's Maryland suburbs, Maryland not having very pro-gun statutes), did anything of the type.
Comments
Florida has statutes (870.044 and 870.045) specifically allowing this type of thing. Whether or not they would stand up in court is another question, because someone has to have standing to sue first. Florida's law is specifically meant for use during riots and civil unrest, not during a generic "state of emergency" declaration.
I'd be willing to bet NC has something similar. Might be interesting to look into.

Beat the rush. Buy guns and ammo now. The stores are full of AR type rifles, and if you don't have one, now is the best time to buy an AR that I have seen in years.
And if you don't have an AR, who are you, Jim Zumbo?

The ban is North Carolina state law. The town just published it to ban the sale of booze to keep the drunks home.
Blame the state.
