HB
937 was making the partial repeal of the current Jim Crow-era pistol
permit system look like a reality. Then, the political pressure mounted.
GRNC has learned that the partial repeal of the current, old-fashioned system is in jeopardy, and worse, the current system might become even more complicated and restrictive. The NRA has not “signed off” on the partial repeal of the old permit system, and worse, someone has convinced HB 937 sponsor, Rep. Jacqueline Michelle Schaffer, to modify the language such that NICS checks are to be required for pistols purchased with permits more than 30 days old.
There are two problems with this:
- The
NCSA has already said that NICS checks are not adequate. So why subject
law-abiding gun owners to additional pointless background checks?
- According to GRNC President, Paul Valone, "This action would punish innocent gun owners for the malfeasance of the NCSA, and is unacceptable!"
