Two bills being considered in the N.C. House -- HB 69 and HB 201 -- would eliminate the requirement to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed weapon. Both bills are completely irresponsible.
I strongly support both the Second Amendment and the NRA, but to eliminate the requirement that individuals have at least the basic skills to safely use a firearm is irrational. Also, the conceal permit approval process provides a background check that excludes many criminals and individuals with a history of mental health issues from having legal access to a concealed firearm. |

And constitutional carry will still exclude criminals and individuals with a history of mental health issues from having legal access to a concealed firearm.
The permit process currently does not exclude criminals and other prohibited persons from possessing illegal firearms as is demonstrated daily by felons in possession of firearms.
You may believe that you support the second amendment, but you don't. Or else you have no concept of the purpose as written 200 plus years ago.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
