The House is voting on the Senate Committee Substitute which, among other things, kills off that legacy of the Jim Crow era the pistol purchase permit system.<\/p>\n<p>The House convenes today at 10am.<\/p>\n<p>I will have results of the vote up as soon as it is available.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE:<\/b> Gun owners just got screwed.Whether we got royally screwed will be determined by what comes out of the Conference Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The House failed to concur on the Senate version of HB 937 by a vote of 100-14 and the bill was sent to a Conference Committee. It looks like the House kow-towed to the opposition of the bill from the NC Sheriffs Association. I&#8217;m sure opposition by the University of North Carolina System also played a part.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee members from the House are the primary sponsors of the bill: Representatives Jacqueline Schaffer (R-Mecklenburg), Justin Burr (R-Stanley), John Faircloth (R-Guilford), and George Cleveland (R-Onslow). Schaffer is the chair of the Conference Committee for the House.<\/p>\n<p>Burr and Cleveland were rated as 4 star by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grnc.org\/documents\/RIN_2012_name%20sort_f.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GRNC-PVF<\/a> while Faircloth was rated a 3 star. Schaffer, a House freshman, did not return the GRNC-PVF questionnaire and thus automatically earned zero starts.<\/p>\n<p>The details of the roll call vote are not yet posted<\/p>\n<p>Despite some rumors to the contrary, Grass Roots North Carolina was always pushing for concurrence with the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE II: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=680674101947991&amp;id=146962105319196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grass Roots North Carolina has released the following statement regarding HB 937<\/a> and the House&#8217;s failure to concur with the Senate. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>    Although only 14 stalwarts voted for concurrence on HB 937, we have received assurances from the Speaker&#8217;s office that: (1) All provisions other than the purchase permit repeal will remain in the bill; (2) The limited campus carry will actually be slightly improved; (3) Although a full purchase permit repeal is unlikely (owing partially to the fact McCrory would likely veto it), negotiations are underway on a compromise which the Speaker has said would satisfy all parties; and (4) The bill would be passed this year.<\/p>\n<p>    Consequently, we do not suggest beating on leadership yet. In coming days, GRNC will be working closely with conferees to ensure a strong bill is sent back to both chambers for concurrence. Additional details will be released as they become available.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The final roll call vote has been changed to 96 yea and 18 nay. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncleg.net\/gascripts\/voteHistory\/RollCallVoteTranscript.pl?sSession=2013&amp;sChamber=H&amp;RCS=1197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakdown can be found here<\/a>. A no vote was to concur with the Senate version of the bill.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE III:<\/b> The State Senate has appointed their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncleg.net\/gascripts\/confcomm\/confcommittee.pl?BillChamber=H&amp;BillID=937&amp;session=2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">four members of the Conference Committee<\/a>. The Senate chair is Sen. Buck Newton (R-Wilson) who is not only rated 4 stars by the GRNC-PVF but is one of the staunchest supporters of Second Amendment issues in the General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining members from the Senate are Senators Kathy Harrington (R-Gaston), Andrew Brock (R-Davie), and Shirley Randleman (R-Wilkes). Both Harrington and Brock are rated 4 stars. Randleman was not rated as <a href=\"http:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/wiki\/index.php\/Shirley_Randleman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she replaced a candidate<\/a> (Sen. Don East) who had passed away just before the election. However, Randleman&#8217;s answers to Project VoteSmart indicate she is pro-gun.<\/p>\n<p>Given the Senate lineup, I am encouraged that with the exception of the pistol purchase permit issue we won&#8217;t lose anything and may even gain.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Bill 937 &#8211; Amend Various Firearms Laws &#8211; is finally on the legislative agenda of the North Carolina&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2479,149],"class_list":["post-2140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-hb-937","tag-north-carolina-general-assembly"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9323,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2140\/revisions\/9323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
