North Carolinians will not need permission from a local sheriff in order to purchase a handgun. Rather, they will just need a federal background check to buy a gun from a licensed dealer, meaning handgun purchases in the state will be treated the same as rifles and shotguns.

The decision had backing from the state sheriff's association and groups such as the National Rifle Association.

Part of the measure also includes the creation of a safe firearm storage awareness campaign to educate gun owners and boost the distribution of gun locks.

Of course it did. That’s all the reason to oppose this change.

You did not answer the question....
How is this law in NC different from what other states do? Be specific.

So glad to be out of there.

really such a shame

I went to college in NC. It has a lot going for it. I have friends still there. They all seem to despise these wackos running the state.

Not enough to actually do anything about it, though.

they vote. they protest. their votes are diluted.

What is keeping you there? I thought that the Research Triangle was the Latest Thing. No?

Waiting for my youngest to graduate high school. Two more years! Some people think the Triangle is the greatest. To me, it is Reston with warmer winters and less traffic. Not my thing. Moved here for a job transfer.

Happened today. So disgusting.

Appalling and tone deaf

If I may borrow the GOP’s obsessive phrase: they’re just virtue signaling. I guess since they’re signaling to murderers that they’re cool with it, they’re vice signaling but potato potahto.

NC is a hot mess

They have gerrymandered the sh*t out of that state and just completely ignored their high courts that demanded a redistrict

Guess we will be removing NC from consideration for my kid post-HS

Well, we now know where the next mass shooting will happen sometime soon.
