This episode of Gun Talk features a discussion on North Carolina House Bill 562, which aims to repeal the state's Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law. The law, enacted in 1919, allowed sheriffs to deny handgun permits based on subjective 'good moral character' criteria, historically used to disenfranchise minorities. The bill also proposes other gun-friendly measures, but faces opposition from gun control advocates funded by Michael Bloomberg. The discussion highlights how repealing the permit law would actually improve background checks by ensuring they occur at the point of sale rather than up to five years prior.
