Legislative leaders say they won't take action to repeal North Carolina's concealed-carry permit requirements.
A House bill that would have allowed people to carry concealed handguns without a permit passed two committees in the past week. But it was later removed from the House’s floor calendar without a vote.
House Speaker Tim Moore said Thursday that some Republican lawmakers were opposed to the change. The state sheriffs' association also spoke out against the bill. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Keith Kidwell, R-Beaufort, agreed to drop the proposal for now.
"There was some difference of opinion within the caucus on it, and the reality is, before that bill could become law, you would need to have all 72 votes," he said. "I didn't count 72 votes there, and Rep. Kidwell concurred." https://www.wunc.org/politics/2023-05-05/concealed-carry-gun-permits-remain-for-now-as-nc-legislature-shelves-bill |
