Bill Summary
NC Constitutional Carry Act
AI Summary
This bill, the NC Constitutional Carry Act, makes it legal for any person who is a citizen of the United States and at least 18 years old to carry a concealed handgun in North Carolina, unless otherwise prohibited by law. The bill removes the requirement to obtain a concealed handgun permit, and instead lays out specific criteria for when it is unlawful to carry a concealed handgun, such as if a person is ineligible to own or possess a firearm under state or federal law, is a felon, or has certain misdemeanor convictions. The bill also maintains the option for North Carolina to continue issuing concealed handgun permits for purposes of reciprocity and firearm purchases. The bill makes related changes to existing laws regarding the carrying of weapons in certain locations and by certain individuals.
