RALEIGH, NC — A vote in the North Carolina House to override Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 50, the Freedom to Carry NC Act, was on the agenda Monday but has now been postponed . The bill seeks to allow law-abiding residents to carry a concealed firearm without first obtaining a government-issued permit.
The Senate successfully overrode the governor’s veto in July, but the measure must still clear the House with a three-fifths majority of those present and voting in order to become law. If successful, North Carolina would become the 30th state to adopt constitutional carry.
Vote has been postponed. We will update with more information.
Do not let up. Keep hammering the phone lines.
Make North Carolina the 30th Constitutional Carry state!

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) has called on supporters to keep pressure on lawmakers until the final vote, stressing that gun owners should not let up even with today’s delay. The group shared a list of key representatives in Raleigh they believe need to hear directly from constituents.
Representatives identified by NAGR include:
Ted Davis, Jr. – 919-733-5786
William Brisson – 919-733-5772
Brenden Jones – 919-733-5821
Karl Gillespie – 919-733-5859
Shelly Willingham – 919-715-3024
Howard Penny – 919-715-3015
Stephen Ross – 919-733-5820
Supporters are encouraged to contact these legislators and urge them to publicly support and vote to override the veto.
While Senate Bill 50 would mark a major step toward constitutional carry in North Carolina, some gun rights groups have noted that the bill still contains provisions that could limit certain lawful gun owners from carrying. Nonetheless, overriding the veto would be a significant win for the Second Amendment in the state.
Gun owners who want to see North Carolina join the growing number of constitutional carry states are urged to remain engaged, keep contacting their representatives, and maintain momentum until the vote takes place.
