Republican North Carolina state Senator Jim Perry is locked in a legislative vs. executive showdown with the state’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, over the former’s bill to protect the right to keep and bear arms in the Tarheel State. Notably, Governor Cooper has vetoed similar legislation in the past.
Perry is one of the primary sponsors of Senate Bill 41 — the Guarantee 2nd Amendment Freedom and Protections Act — a measure that was handily passed by both houses of the state’s legislature and now sits on Governor Perry’s desk, waiting for his signature or veto. If he hasn’t rejected the bill by March 26, then it will become law without his signature.
Speaking of Cooper’s propensity to veto legislation that he sees as potentially detrimental to his political future, Perry told a local newspaper:
Roy Cooper has loved that veto stamp and we haven’t been able to override him. Donations pour in from out of state donors when he vetoes certain bills. If he vetoes this one, his streak will come to an end and I believe he knows it. I think he is scared, politically. We will see if he has the courage of his convictions, or if he lets this become law without his signature.
