FEEDBACK DAY: EMAIL AND CALL SENATE RULES CHAIR BILL RABON NOW

The clock is ticking. The 2025–2026 legislative session has roughly two to three weeks remaining, and HB 674 — Rep. Jay Adams’ Firearms Liberty Act, which would establish lifetime concealed handgun permits for law-abiding North Carolinians — is sitting idle in the Senate Rules Committee. 

The House has already done its job. HB 674 passed the House and now waits on the Senate to act. Senate Rules Chair Bill Rabon controls whether this bill gets a committee hearing — or dies quietly without one.

 

That choice is his. And right now, he’s making the wrong one.

 

WHAT HB 674 DOES 

The Firearms Liberty Act would allow North Carolina concealed handgun permit holders to apply for a lifetime permit — eliminating the burden of repeated renewal fees and bureaucratic hoops for citizens who have already proven they qualify. This is a commonsense, pro-gun reform that reduces government friction on the exercise of a constitutional right.

 It passed the House. It has the votes. All it needs is a Senate committee hearing.

 Rabon is the gatekeeper — and right now, the gate is closed.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!                            

 

What You Need to Do — TOMORROW

CALL & EMAIL Senator Rabon’s office

📞 (919) 733-5963

Best time to call: 9:00–11:00 AM — that’s when constituent calls have the most impact. If you can’t reach anyone during that window, call anyway, whenever you can. Leave a message if necessary. It still counts.

Your call message, in your own words:

“My name is [NAME] and I’m a North Carolina voter. I’m calling to urge Senator Rabon to give HB 674, the Firearms Liberty Act, a committee hearing immediately. The session is nearly over. This bill already passed the House. There’s no excuse for Rules to sit on it. Please schedule a hearing now.”

WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW

Legislative sessions don’t last forever. Bills that don’t receive hearings in time die — and the effort to pass them must start over from scratch in the next session. HB 674 has momentum. It has House passage. What it doesn’t have is much time.

Senator Rabon has the authority to move this bill. GRNC members have the power to make sure he hears from us.

Make the call. Send the email. Do it tomorrow

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE


Proposed Subject: Subject: Give HB 674 a Hearing Before Session Ends

Senator Rabon,  

I am writing as a North Carolina voter and gun owner to urge you to immediately schedule a committee hearing for HB 674, the Firearms Liberty Act sponsored by Rep. Jay Adams.

 This bill — which would create a lifetime concealed handgun permit option for qualifying North Carolinians — has already passed the House. With only two to three weeks remaining in the session, continued inaction by Senate Rules is tantamount to killing the bill without a vote.

Law-abiding North Carolinians deserve to have their elected representatives vote on this legislation — not watch it expire in committee. I urge you to act now.

I will continue to monitor your actions through GRNC legislative alerts.

Respectfully,

[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS]
[YOUR CITY, ZIP]
[YOUR PHONE — optional] 

 

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
ALERT WRITERS

 

We Need Alert Writers
In order to continue to offer these critical email alerts in a timely and effective fashion, GRNC needs more alert writers. If you have general writing ability, basic computer skills, a desire to defend the Bill of Rights, and a few hours a week, GRNC would love to bring you on board as an important member of our writing team. Note that a few hours a week, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more, is a small tradeoff for the immense satisfaction you’ll feel after you have direct involvement in killing anti-gun bills, expanding gun rights, and stopping short the political careers of gun-grabbing legislators.

Contact Us
Please, we need you. If you feel at all called to pitch in and defend the Second Amendment, there is nothing better you could do than volunteer for North Carolina’s most effective, no-compromise gun rights organization, Grass Roots North Carolina. If interested, we’d love to hear from you, please email: alertwriter@grnc.org with the subject line: “Alert Writer Inquiry.” Thanks!
