The North Carolina Senate has passed a reform bill that moves the state closer toward constitutional carry.
The reform bill eliminates the permit required to purchase a handgun that was implemeted in the Jim Crow era as a means to keep black people disarmed.
It eliminates a number of "gun-free" zones that have been found to be attractive to mass killers. Concealed carry permit holders would be able to store firearms in a locked car on school property. The bill strengthens state preemption of local gun laws.
Private property rights are respected, as owners are allowed to prohibit the carry of firearms on their property.
The North Carolina Sheriff's Association support the bill, while University of North Carolina Police Chiefs oppose it.
The law would provide penalties designed to prevent the disclosure of concealed carry permit information, which could be used to chill the exercise of Second Amendment rights.
The Senate Bill will have to be sent back to the House for approval because of the additional reforms in the Senate measure.
The bill passed the Senate on a voice vote.

So, if this comes to pass, we won’t have to go to the sheriffs office and get a permit? Right? We’d just have to do the federal check at the gun store?
Yay us!
We are doing a good job for the most part in restoring freedoms in this state.
Takes a long time to wring the leftard fascism out but at least we are working on it.
Now if we can reform our dumbed down education system that suck up 56% of the budget and get out of common core, we might have a chance....
That is correct. My information is that these provisions were taken out of the house version in a committee controlled by an anti-gun Democrat, but that they are likely to pass a vote of the whole house.
And that will help deter a mass murderer, how? You can kill a lot of kids in the time it takes an adult to get out to the car and back with a weapon!
That just sounds strange. I know it's a pretty big school, but I wonder how many chiefs of police the University of North Carolina needs. lol
The University of North Carolina has 17 Institutions around the State:
