Thanks to your voice and action, this dangerous bill—allowing untrained 18-year-olds to carry hidden, loaded guns in public—has been stopped… unless lawmakers override the veto.
What is permitless carry and why is it dangerous? Younger, untrained people who have not passed a background check or had any training would now be legally carrying hidden, loaded handguns in public: at a restaurant or bar, on the street, sitting next to you at a concert or in your place of worship. Young. Untrained. Armed.
Your voice made a difference: both Republicans and Democrats have voted against this bill, and now our Governor has vetoed it. We can still prevent this bill from becoming law, if lawmakers sustain Governor Stein's veto. Email your lawmakers to stop them from overriding the veto.
In solidarity for a safer North Carolina, Becky & Sara
