Hey Armor Brotherhood—Mitchell & Son here with a fresh update on North Carolina gun laws that could impact you. Whether you're a seasoned protector or prepping for the unexpected, these updates matter:

🔹 NC's Permit less Carry Nears Reality

As of June 2025, Senate Bill 50 and House Bill 5 are making big moves. They aim to allow permitless concealed carry for adults 18+ who aren’t legally barred from owning guns nraila.org +2fftcwp.org +2dougedwardslaw.com +2ncleg.gov +4carolinaconcealedsolutions.com +4apnews.com +4.
Both chambers have passed versions, but Governor Stein has already vetoed a similar proposal—meaning we could be headed for an override showdown apnews.com +1apnews.com +1.

🔹 Still Need a Permit—for Now

Currently, NC remains a “shall-issue” state. That means you must be 21+, complete a certified handgun safety course, and pass a background check to get a concealed handgun permit en.wikipedia.org +2en.wikipedia.org +2apnews.com +2.

🔹 What Changing Permit Laws Would Do

More freedom: Permit less carry empowers law-abiding adults to carry without training or waiting.
Public safety concerns: Opponents caution that eliminating the training requirement may pose risks—especially when raising the age to 18 apnews.com +5concealednation.org +5nraila.org +5apnews.com.
Legal ripple effects: Even with permit less carry, you’d still need permits for out-of-state travel and gun reciprocity. Plus, firearms remain banned in certain places like K–12 schools or where signage prohibits them.

🔹 Other Updates

A new lifetime concealed handgun permit bill has passed in the House—making it valid indefinitely, but only within NC usacarry.com +2concealednation.org +2apnews.com +2.

Training programs tied to this legislation may bring firearm safety courses into community colleges, which could enhance responsible ownership usacarry.com +15apnews.com +15concealednation.org +15.
