It’s 2025, and as the country moves towards more freedom, two states are in the race to see who can be the next constitutional carry state. Who will be number 30? And hopefully the second will be number 31. Well, let’s talk about it. First, probably the best case scenario for this. Big news out of North Carolina. State lawmakers have officially filed a bill that could make it the 30th state in the nation to recognize constitutional carry, but I’ll tell you the second state in a bit who would like to beat them to it.

All right, let’s break this down. On Tuesday, state senators in North Carolina introduced Senate Bill 50, officially titled Freedom to Carry, North Carolina. If this legislation passes, if, it would bring major changes to the state’s gun laws, eliminating the requirement for a concealed carry permit.

Now, for those who don’t know, Constitutional Carry means that if you are legally allowed to own a firearm, meaning you’re not federally prohibited, you can carry it concealed without needing to apply for a government permission slip. That’s also called a permit. And right now, North Carolinians have to go through their local sheriff’s office and complete a safety and training course before receiving a permit. Now, if this bill passes, that process would become optional. Why do I say optional? Well, some people still have the need for permits for reciprocity when they travel out of state.

If you travel like me, that permit shows people, like, back up off me. Now, if North Carolina joins the ranks, it wouldn’t be alone. Right now, there are 29 states that already recognize some form of Constitutional Carry, including, and stay tuned to see if your state’s listed, Alabama, Alaska, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Now, this movement has been gaining serious momentum over the last few years, and now North Carolina has a chance, again, I think this is the third, third chance, third legit chance they have, to join the growing list of pro-2A states.

And they’re not the only one looking to join the party. I told you there was two states. Last night, a Constitutional Carry bill was also filed in Colorado as well. So, potentially, states number 30 and 31 on the Permitless Carry train, but it will not happen unless the citizens make a lot of noise in favor of these bills. Now, back to Senate Bill 50 in North Carolina. The bill has some strong backing from Republican leadership, including Phil Berger, who’s the president pro-temporia of the Senate. And interestingly, Berger opposed a similar proposal just last year.

But now he’s a co-sponsor on the bill. That’s a major shift. I don’t know why it is a shift, but I’m sure that will come out soon. I’m not sure, as soon as this video drops, our friends over at Grassroots, North Carolina are going to fill me in here. Now, meanwhile, over in the House, lawmakers introduced their own version of the bill, House Bill 5, or North Carolina Constitutional Carry Act. It has some slight differences, including a provision that would allow elected officials to carry a firearm while on duty if they have a concealed carry permit.

Now, right now, it’s unclear how much traction these bills will get in the North Carolina or the Colorado legislatures. But one thing is certain, the debate is heating up fast. And one big question that’s always an issue, it always pops up whenever Constitutional Carry is being considered in this state is, how will this impact the local sheriff’s offices or police departments? Well, who cares? But right now, many people apply for concealed carry permits through their sheriff’s department, and each state, they have their own fees. But if Constitutional Carry passes, fewer people will go through that process.

And that would mean less revenue from permits, AKA, less money stolen from we the people under the guise of safety. And I like that. Now, a spokesperson for the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association said that, I don’t even want to say that. So what happens now? Both Senate Bill 50 and House Bill 5 in North Carolina will move through the legislative process in Raleigh, as will HB 25-1164 in Colorado, and that was submitted last night by State Representative Weinberg. Now, they’ll need to pass through committee hearings, then votes in the House and the Senate in their respective states before potentially reaching their governor’s desk.

And with strong Republican backing in North Carolina, the bill has a real shot. But we’ll be watching closely for any opposition from anti-gun lawmakers or law enforcement officials. The same in Colorado. Now, I’m really not sure, I’m not positive on the strength of the support of this bill yet, but that’s where we, the people, come in. Politicians respond to pressure from their constituents. So let’s give it to them in bundles. If you live in North Carolina or in Colorado and support constitutional carry, now is the time to reach out to your representatives and let them know where you stand.
