GRNC Act Now: Constitutional Carry Up for Committee Tuesday

 

ACT NOW:

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY UP FOR COMMITTEE TUESDAY 

 

With the General Assembly’s May 4 “crossover deadline” looming, we need a hearing for House Bill 189 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) ASAP. If the bill doesn’t clear at least the NC House, it will be dead for the two year session, effectively meaning it can’t be re-introduced until 2025. 

You helped us pass SB 41. Now help us pass constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a governmental “permission slip” to exercise your Second Amendment rights. With recent passage in Florida, NC is now among a minority of states which have failed to pass constitutional carry.

Important points on HB 189:

  1. Reciprocity/NICS bypass: HB 189 leaves intact NC’s concealed handgun permit system in order to bypass NICS for gun purchases and to  ensure reciprocity with other states;
  2. Training: Although even some gun rights advocates have objected to the lack of a training requirement inherent in constitutional carry laws, none of the other 26 states which have adopted some form of constitutional carry have experienced problems; and
  3. Who can carry: HB 189 will not enable criminals to carry firearms. In terms of       disqualifying offenses, only those who currently qualify for a concealed      handgun permit will be able to legally carry without a permit. 

Attend the meeting:11:00 AM, Tues (5/2) in Legislative Office Building Room 544

 

 

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

Suggested Subject: “Please pass constitutional carry now”  


Dear Representative: 

I appreciate what Republicans have done in passing Senate Bill 41 and now implore you to complete the task of strengthening the right of North Carolinians to keep and bear arms by passing House Bill 189, “NC Constitutional Carry Act.” With the May 4 crossover deadline looming, please give the bill an expeditious hearing.
 
With Florida recently becoming the 26th state to adopt some form of constitutional carry, and Nebraska the 27th , North Carolina is now part of a disadvantaged minority of states in which permission slips are required to exercise a basic civil right. As the Latin proverb says, fortune favors the bold. I hope you will leverage our success by passing HB 189. I will be monitoring this issue through Grass Roots North Carolina’s legislative alerts.

 

Respectfully,
