The only way that Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of both SB 50 and HB 193 will be over-ridden is if the Republicans in the North Carolina House stay together. That plus one to three House Democrats need to be absent on the day of the vote. This is just like last session in which the pistol purchase permit was finally repealed.
GRNC issued an alert yesterday along with a call to action.
| TELL ALL HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO OVERRIDE STEIN’S VETOES OF CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY & PROTECTION OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS |
| UPDATE & ACTIONS 2A Friends and Defenders,Senate Bill 50 (“Freedom to Carry NC”) and House Bill 193 – bills that would restore your right to carry concealed without a government permission slip—WERE VETOED by Anti-2A Governor Josh Stein. His excuse? That they would “make North Carolinians less safe.” Something we all know is not true. Make no mistake: these vetoes are not about safety. It’s about control. Several so-called “Republicans” dodged the vote entirely. Rather than standing with their constituents and defending liberty, they chose political self-preservation over the Constitution. You should have seen the Alert sent yesterday to address the betrayals by Ted Davis (R-Iredell) and Bill Brisson (R-Bladen, Sampson)—now permanently branded the “Treachery Twins.” They voted against SB50, siding with the Left and betraying the very voters who put them in office. Let us be crystal clear: if Davis and Brisson once again turn their backs on us during the override vote, they will be held responsible for killing permitless carry in North Carolina. GRNC’s Political Victory Fund is watching. And when election season comes, we will remember. We don’t beg. We demand our rights. Prepare to fight. Prepare to call. Prepare to vote out every last Anti-2A politician who stands in the way of your freedoms. |

Suggested Subject: Stand Firm — Override Stein’s Anti-2A Vetoes Dear NC Representatives: I’m writing to demand that you stand firm and vote to override Governor Josh Stein’s disgraceful vetoes of SB50 (“Freedom to Carry NC”) and HB193. These bills represent a long-overdue return to Constitutional principles—SB50 removes the permit requirement for concealed carry, and HB193 empowers private schools to protect their students using trained, vetted volunteers. approved by the schools. The governor’s vetoes are rooted in nothing more than tired anti-gun fearmongering and outright disregard for the rights of law-abiding citizens. I urge you to ignore the emotion-driven theatrics from House Democrats and the Anti-2A organizations and do what is right—not what is politically convenient. 29 states—three-fifths of the country—have constitutional carry. North Carolina must no longer lag behind. We were promised Constitutional Carry in 2023. We expect it in 2025. That promise must be kept. Let me be clear: gun owners were instrumental in securing Republican majorities in the General Assembly. We did not vote for compromise. We voted for courage. We expect our representatives to fight for freedom, not fold under pressure. I’ll be watching how you vote. So will thousands of gun rights voters across this state—through legislative alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina. Vote to override. Deliver the freedom we were promised. Respectfully, |
