Maybe so (via David Codrea).
“In passing Senate Bill 41, today was a great victory for the Second Amendment. GRNC wishes to thank Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore, as well as sponsors and “main movers” of the bill including Sens. Danny Britt; Warren Daniel; and Jim Perry; and Reps. Destin Hall; Jay Adams; Hugh Blackwell; Allen Chesser; Kyle Hall; Bobby Hanig; Kelly Hastings; Neal Jackson; Keith Kidwell; Jeff, McNeely; Ben Moss; Mark Pless; Jason Saine; Carson Smith; plus Democrats who stood courageously: Marvin Lucas, Michael Wray, and Shelly Willingham, and finally the many others whose co-sponsorship and votes who made the victory possible. GRNC particularly thanks our members and supporters, whose thousands of emails and phone calls made this victory inevitable. We are confident that we will over-ride the inevitable veto by anti-freedom Governor Roy Cooper. Very soon, we will release more details of the vicious floor fight waged by Democrats to stop the bill, and the well-managed efforts Republican leadership used to stop it.”
Here’s another report.
And veto it [s]he will. Roy Cooper (to whom I customarily refer to as “Goober Cooper”) is this administration’s boy toy. After all, what would it look like to follow in Biden’s footsteps, only to get clocked in the head with repeal of permits for pistol purchases?
If you’ll recall, we’ve followed this for a while now, and while it was always going to pass, there was a question whether it could pass with a veto-proof majority. According to Paul Valone, we’ve got a veto-proof majority. So there, goober. I’m glad to see the end of this ridiculous scheme.

The termites will be back. Stay vigilant NC.
The right of Self-Defense comes from God.
A permit to buy a pistol, laughed out loud the first time I saw it.
It must be a new idea from the kindergarten safe space dregs CPUSA brain trust since the $400 box of ammo never came to pass.

Not new. It’s been with us a very long time. It’s a holdover from Jim Crow laws.

Correct Herschel
Passed in 1919, so 104 years of petty tyranny by the county’s elected sheriff (although originally by the Clerk of Superior Court).
When I was younger, some counties allowed 2 pistol permits per year (Edgecomb), some unlimited (Rutherford), some required 3 letters of reference and limited to 1 per month (New Hanover).
The fees were set by the Sheriff, some they varied county to county.
Then they standardized it state-wide, then the Concealed Handgun Permit passed and was a substitute for the permit to purchase (and the NICS check).
