NC HB 650 Update

View Image

Thank you for writing me regarding the Amend Various Gun Laws/Castle Doctrine Act (HB650). As a long time Concealed Handgun Permit holder and an avid shooter, I strongly believe in all law-abiding North Carolinians’ right to responsibly own and carry firearms in order to protect themselves and their families. Since being elected to the North Carolina Senate, I have sponsored several pro-gun bills that seek to further protect the right to own, possess, and carry firearms in North Carolina.

After months of hard work and careful study by Senate Republicans, the North Carolina General Assembly passed HB650 by a wide margin and without amendments. As the provisions come into effect, all North Carolinians will enjoy more freedom, protection, and convenience when choosing to carry a firearm. Innocent citizens will be able to protect their families better thanks to the “Castle Doctrine” provisions. Parks and various other “gun free zones” will no longer be safe zones for criminal activity. Most of all, law-abiding North Carolinians will be able to more fully enjoy their 2nd amendment rights after decades of usurpation by past administrations.

This legislative accomplishment could not have happened without the participation of concerned citizens like you. Please continue to stay informed and involved. HB650 represents a great victory, but there is much more work to do in the years to come. Rest assured, as your elected representative, I will never stop fighting for liberty and freedom for all North Carolinians.

Once again, thank you for writing me regarding the Amend Various Gun Laws/Castle Doctrine Act. Please feel free to contact my office again if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Best wishes,

Senator Kathy Harrington
