North Carolina Republicans scrapped the state's long-lived pistol permit requirement Wednesday, aided by the absence of several key Democrats, which gave Republicans the numbers they needed to overturn Gov. Roy Cooper's veto for the first time since the GOP lost their veto-proof super majorities in the 2018 elections.
No longer will North Carolinians buying a handgun need to get permission first from their local sheriff. They'll still need a federal background check to buy from a licensed dealer, which means handgun purchases in the state will be treated the same as rifles and shotguns.
The state sheriffs' association backed the change, though there was dissent from Democratic sheriffs in North Carolina's largest counties.
This is a huge win against a Jim Crow era law promoted and defended by the states Democrat party. Hopefully, it's a sign of a new awareness against illegal and racist permitting systems.
