“This bill makes North Carolinians less safe and undermines responsible gun ownership. Therefore, I am vetoing it. The bill eliminates training requirements associated with concealed carry permits and reduces the age to carry a concealed weapon from 21 to 18 years old. Authorizing teenagers to carry a concealed weapon with no training whatsoever is dangerous. The bill would also make the job of a law enforcement officer more difficult and less safe. We can and should protect the right to bear arms without recklessly endangering law enforcement officers and our people,” Stein said in a statement on his veto of Senate Bill 50.
Per Breitbart:
On June 12, 2025, Breitbart News reported that North Carolina’s constitutional carry legislation, Senate Bill 50, passed the House and was headed to the governor’s desk.
SB 50 would allow law-abiding North Carolinians of military age — 18 years and above — to carry concealed for self-defense without having to jump through all the hoops currently required to get a carry permit from the state.
“Stein’s gutless veto proves he’s cut from the same anti-Second Amendment cloth, and the National Association for Gun Rights will expose him as the enemy of freedom he is to the same pro-gun voters who dealt defeat to his fellow anti-gun leftists,” National Association for Gun Rights Political Director Dustin Curtis said.
“After all, this is the same state that resoundingly rejected the gun-grabbing agendas of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton,” Curtis added.

NC Newsline reports:
Senate Bill 50 would allow North Carolinians over 18 to carry concealed firearms without applying for a permit. The measure, branded “constitutional carry” by conservative backers, is law in 29 other states. The Senate approved the bill on a partisan, 26-18 vote, with all Republicans voting ‘yes’ and all Democrats voting ‘no.’ Six members were absent. In the House, the vote was 59-48, with two Republicans — Reps. William Brisson (R-Bladen) and Ted Davis (R-New Hanover) — joining Democrats in opposition. If Brisson and Davis remain opposed, it could make it much harder for Republicans to must the necessary three-fifths vote to override the veto.
