HB 746 Constitutional Concealed Carry

Why get a Concealed Carry Permit? Well the truth is there are many reasons a person would desire to obtain their permit. Frankly the reasons can be different for each individual and usually are. Sometimes its work related or for home defense. Perhaps you have children and have some concerns over their well-being or maybe you travel extensively. Every reason is real to that person.

You may have heard of N.C. House Bill 746 which would allow for “constitutional concealed carry” in North Carolina should it pass. It has gotten through the House and will now be heard in the Senate. Should it move forward it would then hit the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. I have my doubts about that but we shall see! Even if it becomes law, the bill does not remove the opportunity from a N.C resident from taking a Concealed Carry Handgun class and applying to obtain a CCH Permit.

So why would anyone obtain a CCH Permit IF this becomes law? I have worked with many, many folks from all walks of life. People who are experienced with firearms and those that have never touched a gun. I can say without question that each one of my students have benefited from taking my class. And they would say the same! Carrying a handgun either concealed or open is a BIG responsibility and it is not suitable for everyone. YOU must know the laws! Where can you carry? When can you use self-defense or come to the defense of others? There is so much to learn.

Having a CCH Permit will allow you to carry out of state (in those states with reciprocity). It will allow you to carry in places that charge an admission fee (unless otherwise posted) and in restaurants that serve alcohol (provided you are not drinking). And you wouldn’t need to obtain a pistol purchase permit to buy a firearm. The new law would not allow any of these things. We believe in the 2nd Amendment but at the same time feel strongly that there should be training. If you feel the same, call us today and schedule you Concealed Carry Handgun training to obtain your CCH Permit!

UPDATE 10/10/2017: This bill has not moved since 6/12/2017! It appears to be stalled at this time.
