Sweeping North Carolina bill that would discard gun permits, mental evaluations heads to Gov. Cooper
Fox News
A bill that would discard North Carolina’s longstanding requirement that gun buyers need to obtain a permit and clear a mental evaluation will head to the governor’s desk Wednesday.
Republican gains in the midterm elections landed them within one seat of a veto-proof supermajority. Cooper's office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the bill.
The proposal would make it so sheriffs no longer have to perform evaluations of an applicant’s character and mental wellness before they can purchase a handgun.
