Take Action
Would you want someone as young as 18 years old to be allowed to carry a loaded, hidden handgun in our communities, and neighborhoods without undergoing a background check? We certainly don’t! That is why we must make sure that Concealed Carry Permitting is never repealed. Tell your NC lawmakers to vote NO on HB5/SB50, which would repeal Concealed Carry Permitting and put us in harm’s way!
NC lawmakers have introduced a bill in the House and one in the Senate that would repeal North Carolina’s current concealed carry permit law, which prevents people as young as 18 from carrying a hidden loaded weapon in public with no training and no background check. If the repeal passes, anyone in North Carolina as young as 18 will be allowed to carry a loaded, hidden handgun in our communities and neighborhoods with no training and without undergoing a background check.
Help end traumatization of children! Tell NC leaders to stop the dangerous immigration bill!
Tell Gov. Cooper to oppose anti-immigrant rhetoric, invest in NC instead!
