Repeal of a more than 100-year-old firearms law in North Carolina has fallen to a gubernatorial veto.
Late Friday afternoon, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper rejected Senate Bill 41, sponsored by Republican Sen. Danny Britt of Robeson County.
North Carolinians need a pistol permit from their respective county sheriffs. The legislation repealed that 110-year-old statute. The Senate bill also included a measure to allow concealed carry of firearms at religious services that share locations with private or charter schools and to launch a two-year firearm safe storage awareness initiative.
The southeastern North Carolina senator responded that he looked forward to a swift veto override.
