The state of North Carolina has always struck me as a little strange.
On one hand, they’re a southern state, which suggests they’re likely to be pretty pro-gun. Then we have the fact that their gun laws are anything but.
Don’t get me wrong, I know why they aren’t. They’re holdovers from Jim Crow, ones Democrats aren’t ready to let go of just yet.
But it’s still strange.
Nonetheless, the state is making some positive moves on gun rights, with different bills passing each chamber.

"In the NC House, a bill that would allow licensed conceal carry holders to carry in educational facilities used in places of religious worship passed by a 77-43 vote with six Democrats joining Republicans in support."
We are moving back to the people republic of NC for family. But, the way TN is voting, they will be blue within 10 years anyway.
Any laws moving in the right direction is good news.
Politically, NC is controlled by Raleigh and Charlotte. Both are majority dem and most of the people living there are transplants from deep blue states. The rest of the state is largely rural and republican or old style democrat.
“Politically, NC is controlled by Raleigh and Charlotte.”
NC is much like so many other conservative states. Georgia has Atlanta which controls so much of state policy. Tennessee has Memphis and Knoxville. Alabama has Birmingham. Etc, Etc.
