North Carolina legislature passes bill eliminating pistol permit system

The North Carolina state Senate on Wednesday voted to approve legislation that would allow residents to bypass the longstanding requirement to obtain a permit from the local sheriff in order to purchase a handgun.

While Republicans were successful in passing the bill in a 27-20 party line vote, the measure is expected to be vetoed by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who has repeatedly signaled his support for additional gun control measures and implementing more restrictions on gun sales.

GOP members in the state legislature argued that the requirement to seek approval from the local sheriff is not necessary due to the federal background checks that all licensed gun dealers must conduct, according to The Associated Press.

The bill, which was first introduced in the state House in March and was approved by the lower chamber in a May 69-48 vote, would not end the state's existing requirement to obtain a permit from a sheriff for concealed weapons.

Republican state Sen. Chuck Edwards said during floor debate Wednesday that the existing law for handguns is "simply just ineffective."

"This law is archaic and it's duplicative," he added, the AP reported.

However, Democrats have pointed out that the national background check requirements do not apply to private gun sales between two individuals, noting that the absence of a state review for handgun sales could increase the chances of weapons falling into the wrong hands.

"This bill would remove one of the few protections that we currently have in place to stop dangerous people from buying handguns," state Sen. Natasha Marcus (D) said Wednesday, according to the AP.

Every state around us but not GA. RINO’s holding it up in our legislature. Infuriating!

I turned 21 while living in Yadkinville and I recall being asked by the Yadkin CO Sherriff Deputy why I thought I needed a handgun? I told him because I m an American.

I told him I didn’t need one as much as I simply wanted one. He asked if I was married/had children and I replied yes/no, but what did that have to do with it?

He smiled and handed me my permit to purchase. I thought that that Jim Crow/carpet bagger law has been done away with long ago.

Any, MO was like that a first too, but we got rid of that in 2006 if I recall, after we had a CCW law.

Still have that Ruger 357 Blackhawk.

Are you telling me that in North Carolina you have to get a permit from the local sheriff just to purchase a handgun?

Do you have to get a new permit for a second purchase later?

[Libloather]

From what I remember, permits cost $5. The limit was two. The permit is good until the sheriff gets elected out.

Ya. Got any pointers on the status of this in GA and who’s on which side?

[CTyank]

The only way to legally purchase multiple hand guns in NC is to get a carry permit.

I got a permit, not so much to conceal carry, as to purchase multiple handguns.

September 1, we finally get Constitutional Carry in Texas. The Lefties think the streets will run red with blood.

[curious7]

They always claim there will be blood in the streets. They are mentally ill and every last one needs to be removed from the Republic. I wonder if we could sucker China into taking them all?

[BozoTexino]

Ha! China would Uyghur them.

[Manly Warrior]

I don’t know how many allowed on a single permit, but I know I bought three that year, another ruger, a sec six 357 and a sterling 400 for my bride.... Still got em.

If you get a CCP you don’t need to go through that permit process.

I think you are confusing two different things...
Georgia does not require a permit to purchase a firearm.
You have to get a permit to CARRY a firearm, but not to buy one.
Background check every time you make a purchase?
Yes, unless you have a carry permit.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think you’re right. I thought they were going to constitutional carry.
