And the repeal of this North Carolina law is an effort to be less racist.
In 1919 you want a pistol purchase permit you had to get the high sign from the sheriff, in person. Be sure you weren't a felon and had 'good moral character'. Meaning, you weren't a black person. Which, 100 years ago, was practically the same thing to them sheriffs.
Good on ya, North Carolina. One less racist gun laws. Thing is, 90+% of gun laws are similarly racist. Prolly be best to get rid of em all. Get back to gov't not infringing on keeping and bearing.
So, now Sheriff Taylor in Mayberry won't be squinting at you funny for wanting a Smith & Wesson Model 10 for home defense. Notice you rarely see black people on the streets of that town...
Cam Edwards, with Petrolino and Knighton, came at this. I bet Maj does too.

All gun control is racist. Say that louder.
I will add that it is White-Privilege so racist white it's hard to look at in the full sun. Saying you don't need guns because you have police is the racist-privilege equivalent of "Just have the maid handle it."

Not many blacks in Hollyweird back then. And not all that many outside the South and the major Northern cities, either. America was still a (88%) white, Christian country back then.
