The NC House has successfully overridden Governor Cooper’s veto on pistol permits, marking the first instance of a veto override since 2018.


The North Carolina House has successfully overturned Governor Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 41, according to reports from CBS 17. The move, which follows the Republican-controlled Senate’s override of the Democratic governor’s first veto of the session relating to relaxed gun restrictions, sets the stage for the House’s first test of party unity under new operating rules. The bill revives formerly stalled gun access measures, with one of the provisions being the elimination of the need for a permit to purchase a handgun. Representative Jon Hardister confirmed the override in a tweet, noting that this was the first time such an event has occurred since 2018. The override transpired without any debates, and further updates on this breaking story can be obtained from CBS 17.
