| HB562 MOVES TO THE FULL SENATE |
Pro-gun bill, HB 562, will be considered by the NC Senate tomorrow (Monday, July 27). Please encourage Senate Republicans to support it …
Last week, thanks in large part to the insistence of GRNC supporters like you, HB562 moved smoothly through the Senate Judiciary II Committee. GRNC would like to thank Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger (R-Guilford, Rockingham) and Senator Tom Apodaca (R-Buncombe, Henderson, Transylvania) for making sure this bill had a proper hearing. Fortunately, the committee did not weaken the bill, which still contains some great gun-rights advancements, such as:
- Expanded campus carry (and giving an affirmative defense for defensive gun use on campus);
- Reduced penalties for carriage onto posted premises;
- Expanded sport shooting range protection;
- Reductions in arbitrary permit denials for both concealed handgun permits and pistol purchase permits while reducing the number of disqualifying prior offenses for those permits;
- A new cause of action against local governments which violate our statewide firearms preemption law;
- A requirement for sheriffs to sign Form 4s for qualified Title II applicants;
- A provision for legal resident aliens to get concealed handgun permits; and
- Short-barreled rifle hunting in addition to the suppressor hunting we passed in 2013.
Now, it’s time for HB562 to be considered by the full Senate. To insure its passage, the Republican members of the NC Senate need to be reminded that you expect them to support this bill, and to pass it without weakening amendments.
Below, you’ll find a copy/paste message and a copy/paste email list that you can use to encourage the Senate’s supermajority to act in accordance with their campaign promises by voting in favor of HB562.

HB562 will be a great step forward for gun rights in our state. I strongly encourage you to back this bill, and to encourage your colleagues to do the same. Please vote for HB562 as it is currently written, and please vote against any weakening amendments.
