The NC Legislature's vote to override Gov. Cooper's veto of Gun Bill means that the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office will no longer processi pistol purchase permit applications including pending applications..
On Wednesday morning, the Legislature voted to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of a bill titled "Guarantee 2nd Amendment Freedom and Protections," meaning that any person who wants to purchase or transfer a handgun in North Carolina no longer has to apply to the sheriff for a pistol purchase permit.
However, any person who wants to purchase a handgun through a firearms dealer will still undergo the background check required under current law and either be sold the handgun or denied sale if the background check indicates the person is disqualified from possessing a firearm, the sheriff's office said.
