Frequently Asked Questions

Why was North Carolina's Constitutional Carry bill (HB 189) pulled before a vote?

HB 189 was pulled after being amended in committee to include a mandatory firearm safety and training course. This amendment was seen by some as negating the bill's constitutional carry status, leading to its withdrawal before a scheduled floor vote.

Did the NRA betray gun owners regarding North Carolina's Constitutional Carry bill?

The video suggests the NRA withdrew support because the bill was amended to require training, which they argued made it no longer true constitutional carry. The speaker presents evidence that the amendment itself may have been a legislative tactic to prevent the bill's passage.

What was the key amendment that changed North Carolina's HB 189?

The crucial amendment added a requirement for individuals to complete an approved firearm safety and training course before carrying a concealed handgun. This requirement, which included instruction on relevant laws and the use of deadly force, was not part of the original constitutional carry proposal.

What is the difference between constitutional carry and a permit-to-carry system?

Constitutional carry allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed firearm without needing a government-issued permit. A permit-to-carry system requires individuals to obtain a license, often involving training, background checks, and fees, before carrying concealed.
