The NC House has successfully overturned Governor Cooper’s veto on pistol permits, marking the first veto reversal since the year 2018.


The North Carolina House successfully overrode Governor Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 41, according to reports. The state’s Republican-controlled Senate voted to override the Democratic Governor’s first veto of the session. The legislature’s decision comes as lawmakers negotiate and vote on legislation aimed at relaxing current gun restrictions. The move will revoke a law that requires handgun buyers to obtain a permit from their county sheriff. Representative Jon Hardister tweeted the news, adding that it’s the “first veto override since 2018.” The rally took place without discussion, and Senate Bill 41 pertains to the stipulation requiring a permit to purchase a pistol. The story is still developing, and CBS 17 will have the latest updates.
