One of the most controversial bills to win approval by the North Carolina legislature during the 2025 session was a bill (SB 50) to allow any person 18 or older to carry a loaded concealed weapon without any kind of permit or background check. Gov. Josh Stein vetoed the measure, but the question of whether that veto will be overridden hinges on just a tiny margin of votes in the state House.
And recently we got a chance to learn more about the bill and the concerns anti-gun violence advocates are raising from Jessica Burroughs, Senior Campaign Director for the group MomsRising. We also got a chance to ask Burroughs about another issue her group is monitoring closely – hunger and the impact that recently enacted legislation in Washington will have on this fast-growing problem.
