The North Carolina House has overridden Governor Cooper’s veto on pistol permits, marking the first instance of veto override since the year 2018.


The North Carolina House voted to override Governor Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 41. This move follows the state’s Republican-controlled Senate voting to override the Democratic governor’s veto of legislation that loosens gun restrictions, marking the House’s first test of party unity under new operating rules. The bill permits a package of gun access measures that eliminates the need for handgun buyers to obtain a permit from their county sheriff. Representative Jon Hardister confirmed the veto override, calling it the “first veto override since 2018,” via a tweet. The override happened without any discussion. The breaking news story is ongoing, and CBS 17 will provide updates.
