The North Carolina House overrode Governor Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 41, which sought to scrap a requirement that handgun buyers obtain a permit from their county sheriff. Earlier, North Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto, setting up the House’s first test of party unity under new operating rules. Representative Jon Hardister confirmed the override in a tweet, highlighting that this was the “first veto override since 2018”. There was no debate during the override, and this remains a developing news story. Updates will be provided by CBS 17.
