North Carolina Gov. Stein vetoes his first bills. They are on concealed carry and immigration
NORTH CAROLINA, JUN 20 – Governor Stein vetoed three bills citing public safety and constitutional concerns, including opposition from sheriffs and 71% public disapproval of lowering concealed carry age, officials said.
- On Friday, Governor Josh Stein rejected three pieces of legislation, including Republican proposals related to permitless concealed carry and enhanced coordination on immigration enforcement.
- The bills aimed to allow 18-year-olds to carry concealed weapons without training and require sheriffs to notify ICE within two hours and hold undocumented immigrants for 48 hours.
- Stein stated the gun bill would make North Carolinians less safe and the immigration bills would unconstitutionally detain people, diverting officers from state duties amid stretched law enforcement.
- Senate Leader Phil Berger condemned the vetoes, advocating Constitutional Carry and looking forward to override attempts, while sheriffs Rogers and Kimbrough supported Stein's decision to uphold trust in communities.
- The vetoed bills now return to a legislature short of a veto-proof majority, with override decisions expected as early as next week, while Stein also signed House Bill 126 and announced a $3 million rural investment.
