The North Carolina House of Representatives has successfully overridden Governor Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 41, according to sources. This move follows the Republican-controlled Senate’s recent vote to override the Democratic governor’s first veto of the session on a bill that would ease restrictions on gun access, paving the way for the House’s inaugural test of party unity under new operating regulations. The legislation in question aims to eliminate the requirement that handgun buyers receive a permit from their local sheriff, and its passage has been touted as the first veto override since 2018 by Representative Jon Hardister. The override was done without debate, and Senate Bill 41 targets the need for a permit to buy a pistol. This is an evolving story, and CBS 17 will keep you informed with further developments.
