John, 2020 was a banner year for North Carolinians Against Gun Violence. NCGV stopped bad gun legislation at the NC General Assembly and supported local ordinances banning concealed and open carry on certain town properties. Your gift today will help us do this again in 2021. We did this by educating key lawmakers like Senator Jeff Jackson about dangerous gun bills. One of them was the Second Amendment Protection Act, H652. The bill would have legalized the carrying of concealed firearms at religious places of worship with associated schools, weakened our concealed carry weapons permitting system and allowed EMS personnel to concealed carry when on the job with police. Governor Cooper vetoed the bill to protect children that go to schools associated with religious places of worship. The veto was sustained in the House, with 48 voting to uphold the Governor’s veto. NCGV worked with our supporters throughout the state to make this victory happen. | |
