Two states, North Carolina and Colorado, are advancing legislation to enact constitutional carry, also known as permitless carry. This would allow individuals legally permitted to own a firearm to carry it concealed without needing a government-issued permit. The bills, Senate Bill 50 and House Bill 5 in North Carolina, and HB 25-16 in Colorado, aim to eliminate the requirement for concealed carry permits, though permits may still be useful for reciprocity when traveling out of state. Citizens in these states are urged to contact their representatives to voice their support.

Quick Summary

Constitutional carry, or permitless carry, allows legally permitted firearm owners to carry concealed without a government permit. North Carolina and Colorado are advancing legislation to adopt this, potentially becoming the 30th and 31st states. While permits may still be useful for out-of-state reciprocity, these bills aim to uphold Second Amendment rights.
