Dear John,
This is a major win for gun violence prevention in North Carolina: Governor Josh Stein has vetoed House Bill 193 1 , a dangerous bill that would have allowed teachers and volunteers to carry firearms in private schools with minimal training and oversight!
This bill was reckless and deadly. It would have allowed people to carry guns on private school grounds with only 8 hours of training per year, a concealed carry permit, and written permission from a school leader. Even if voluntary, no educator should ever be expected to act as an armed responder.
Thanks to voices like yours, and outreach from advocates, educators, and public safety experts, Governor Stein took a stand to protect our communities.
But this fight is far from over. [[link removed]]
The bill has been scheduled for a House veto override vote on July 29th—and the gun lobby is already working to flip the few votes they need to make that happen. We must be ready.

We’ve seen what our voices can do. Now it’s time to double down to hold lawmakers accountable, push back against gun lobby pressure, and make sure reckless policies included in House Bill 193 never become law.
Together, we can keep guns out of private schools for good. [[link removed]]
Thank you for standing with us in this fight,
Becky & Sara
