Why This Matters
Your Community Safety:
SB 50 allows 18-year-olds with zero training to carry loaded, hidden weapons in your schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods—while they still can't legally buy beer or rent cars
Proven Danger:
Research shows constitutional carry increases gun deaths by 29% on average—West Virginia saw 40% more shooting fatalities after eliminating permits, meaning SB 50 will cost North Carolina lives
Ignored Voters:
Despite 77% of NC voters opposing permit removal according to Everytown polling, Republican legislators prioritize gun lobby profits over public safety and democratic will
Police Opposition:
Law enforcement officers testified against SB 50, knowing it makes their jobs more dangerous—but GOP lawmakers value NRA endorsements over officer safety and community protection
