by Wake County has approximately 1.1 million residents. I have to believe that more than just a handful believe in gun rights and believe that permitless concealed carry is the way to go. Gov. Josh Stein (D-NC) has vetoed bill dealing with permitless carry and for the protection of students attending private schools. These vetoes must be over-ridden.
Grass Roots North Carolina is organizing a rally at the Legislative Building to push for the override of these vetoes. It is not a sure thing as two House Republicans voted against SB50 – Freedom to Carry NC and another 10 just happened to be absent on the day of the House vote. GOP politicians need to start doing more than just providing lip service to their supposed support for the Second Amendment and gun rights. The veto of SB 50 should be over-ridden in the Senate as Sen. President Pro Tem Phil Berger has his supermajority. It is up to House members to do the same and for Speaker Destin Hall to work his magic on scheduling the vote. The GOP in the House is one short of a supermajority and will depend on a few Democrats being absent.
We have fought for this too long and too hard for it to be postponed another two years. If you are in the Raleigh and can take a morning off of work, please be there.
