North Carolina Passes Sweeping New Gun Laws

Well North Carolina citizens are now able to live a little safer with the passing of this as long as the governor does not squash it. Law abiding citizens should be able to carry anywhere they want. What is the point of only being able to carry in certain places. In my opinion it just creates more danger. So good on these lawmakers for passing some common sense firearm laws.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers have approved a bill greatly expanding where concealed handguns are legally allowed.

The Republican-backed bill approved by both the House and Senate on Tuesday allows concealed-carry permit holders to take firearms into bars and restaurants and other places where alcohol is served as long as the owner doesn’t expressly forbid it.

The measure will also allow concealed-carry permit holders to store weapons in locked cars on the campus of any public school or university. Guns will also now be allowed on greenways, playgrounds and other public recreation areas.

The final bill dropped a controversial provision that would have repealed the long-standing law requiring a background check and permit issued by county sheriffs for handgun purchases.

The measure now heads to Republican Gov. Pat McCrory’s desk.
