Yesterday, Senate Bill 50 (S50), the permitless carry bill passed favorably out of the full Senate with amendments. The bill will now go to the House where it will be assigned to a committee for consideration.
S50 would recognize your right to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense without seeking government permission by eliminating the requirement that law-abiding gun owners obtain a permit to carry. The NRA strongly supports constitutional/permitless carry, however S50 still has some pitfalls that could entrap well intentioned gun owners. S50 as written creates scenarios in which a person could lawfully purchase and possess a firearm but would be prohibited from carrying that firearm for self-defense purposes. The NRA is committed to working with willing lawmakers to improve this legislation and help make North Carolina the 30th constitutional carry state!
