North Carolina Republicans have filed a pro-Second Amendment bill that would repeal the state’s handgun permit requirement and reduce the number of years that people convicted of nonviolent crimes must wait before seeking to have their gun rights restored.
GOP state Sens. Danny Britt, Jim Perry, and Todd Johnson, sponsored Senate Bill 687 (pdf), which was filed on April 7 and the following day referred to the Committee On Rules and Operations of the Senate for consideration.
