by North Carolina has and has had permitless open carry since 1922. That is when the North Carolina Supreme Court in State v. Kerner said it was a constitutional violation to prohibit open carry. Now we are fighting to have what 27 other states have – unlicensed or permitless concealed carry.
Grass Roots North Carolina plans to deliver petitions demanding passage of permitless concealed carry to Speaker Tim Moore on Tuesday. Thursday, May 4th, is the last day for a bill to pass the House in order qualify for the crossover deadline. If the House does not pass HB 189 by then, permitless carry will be dead for the remainder of the next two years in the General Assembly.
GRNC also has an alert up with pre-written language with which to contact your State Representative. You can find it here.
I have embedded the petition below which has a QR code to lead you to where you will need to sign it. Frankly, I don’t think it matters if you live in North Carolina or not, we need numbers.
Done, FWIW…

Thanks. I prepared the PDF for use at the local gun show today.
I don’t live in North Carolina, but I wish you well in fighting for it’s passage. In Tennessee it took is 3 governors and most of a decade to get Constitutional Carry Passed.
