Please Contact the Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee Today! Senate Bill 782, sponsored by Doug Berger (D-7), remains in limbo after having been pulled from consideration by the Senate Commerce Committee. This bill would repeal the requirement that law-abiding individuals must obtain a permit to purchase from their local sheriff before they may lawfully acquire any pistol in North Carolina. The primary opposition to this legislation comes from the North Carolina Sheriffsâ Association, which reports that the bill was pulled âat the request of several senators on the committee.â Please contact members of the Senate Commerce Committee, and urge them to support S782 and place this necessary piece of legislation back on the calendar. You can find contact information for Committee members here.
