Repeal of a more than 100-year-old firearms law in North Carolina has fallen to a gubernatorial veto.
Late Friday afternoon, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper rejected Senate Bill 41, sponsored by Republican Sen. Danny Britt of Robeson County.
North Carolinians need a pistol permit from their respective county sheriffs. The legislation repealed that 110-year-old statute. The Senate bill also included a measure to allow concealed carry of firearms at religious services that share locations with private or charter schools and to launch a two-year firearm safe storage awareness initiative.

Jim Crow pistol permit remains a shameful blot on our state
Despite a new research paper by two Clemson University economists proving that black lynching decreased with greater firearm access, North Carolina still clings to its Jim Crow pistol permit. The state remains the only former Confederate state with the pistol permit law enacted here in 1919.
Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a repeal of the Jim Crow law in 2021, despite support for repealing the law by the NC Sheriffs’ Association. In the past, the state Sheriffs’ Associations opposed repeal, but updates to the national instant background checks make the law redundant and a hassle for residents.
Pistol permits emerged as popular legislation in the segregated South by using subjective denials by law enforcement, such as “good cause,” to keep handguns out of the hands of black state residents. To this day, blacks in North Carolina are denied access to pistols at a rate nearly three times as high as the white population.
Supporters of the 2A and repealing the permit law have a super majority in the state legislature. It will override any veto. Cooper is a meat puppet traitor to the constitution just like the rest of the woke dems
GOOOOOD.
I forgot to ask, do they have a majority to override a veto?
Gov Roy will do anything to block a firearm sale.
Even though the communist Pervert obongo puppet Cooper, he is most likely harassing and threating the three democrats who voted for the bill with his outside proxies and NGO’S funded Soros’s groups to vote no to override him. i have been living in this state for 25 years and this corrupt piece of garbage always seemed to slither by and win the A.G’s seat because no one from the republican side would even challenge him and when they did, they would put up a flaky rino-crat only to lose purposely. This pervert weird satanist creep Cooper covered up so many crimes by his party it became self-evident over the years. The man is a disgusting PIG and still up to no good and committing evil acts against the people of North Carolina. Then came the election of 2020 and the communist dirt bag Cooper won by voter fraud along with the new demon-crat A.G. Stein covering up all the past crimes of Cooper and stein himself, It’s a perpetual wicked satanic whore fest in that dirty AG’s office.
