God forbid that our state legislature should follow common sense like NC.

I encountered this when I first moved to NC, in Union County. As I recall, you had to go the County Sheriff's office, fill out a form (?), pay a nominal $5.00 fee, and they would run a NICS check on you. You could buy as many of these paper "handgun purchase permits" as you wanted. Usually, the Sheriff's office would call you back in a day or so, and tell you to come pick them up. At least that is the way it is in "most" conservative leaning counties down here. Then, you kept them in your wallet, and turned them in at your local FFL when buying a handgun, - where you filled out a 4473, and they can run ANOTHER NICS check at that time. If you had a NC CWP already, you could use that in lieu of the handgun purchase permit. Fill out the 4473 and walk out with it right then. The handgun purchase permit allowed people to buy handguns to keep at home. Or, apply for a CWP license to carry. When I applied, it took them about 5 weeks total to issue mine, - nothing like the many months it took back in NY. (And at that time, Union County was issuing around 250 CWP's PER WEEK!)

Now, from what I have heard from others, is that in the "lib" leaning counties like Mecklenburg (home to the city of Charlotte), and a couple of other cities, you could apply, - and then wait a bit... Sort of reminds me of the "wait" stuff with getting a CCW in NYS.

The law dated to Jim Crow days when they wanted to keep blacks from buying guns. This override of Gov. Cooper's veto finally rids NC of it. As I also understand it, that part of the law takes effect immediately. Another part of the new law that allows you to carry at times on combined church / school property reportedly takes effect this coming December 2023.

The old handgun purchase permit law was really worthless, but the Dem lawmakers, libs in the media, as well as the everyday anti gunners cried like the proverbial stuck pigs over its' repeal.

Yes Sir... simply amazed that the legislature got together, even some Dem's, to OVERRIDE a Governor's Veto!

That is a workable solution, nothing like those timid souls here in NY that once elected, they immediately worry about how to stay in office as a career, instead of voting their CONSITUENTS desires!

Can't wait to get down there (NC)...

NC is definitely on my short list for moving out of NYS.

Bruen demanded this, clearly.

NC just followed the decision.

NYS seceeded from the Union, so no compliance.

NYS seceeded from the Union, so no compliance.

If only NY would declare it has seceded.
It would effectively end any authority the NY .gov thinks it has. Law would become nothing more than "might makes right" and would draw a very very big target on the backs of every law enforcement person in the State.
