RALEIGH — The Republican-led North Carolina House of Representatives has advanced six laws they say show a commitment to protecting and defending the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
The bills include legislation to repeal the state’s pistol-permit process, which bill sponsor state Rep. Jay Adams (R-Catawba) said “is duplicative, costly and an unnecessary burden on law enforcement and law-abiding gun owners.”
Other bills passed by the chamber include allowing federal prosecutors and judges to carry in court and allowing concealed-carry-permit holders to lawfully carry at a place of worship that shares property with an affiliated private school during non-school activities.
