Hence, some lawmakers in the General Assembly want special privileges to pack heat of their own.
Specifically, they want members of the legislature who hold concealed carry permits to be able to bring those guns into areas where guns are otherwise prohibited, including the legislative chambers.
Calling gun violence in America a blemish on our character as a nation,â President Joe Biden announced six executive actions Thursday aimed at addressing the proliferation of what he says is an epidemic in the U.S.

The halls of Nevada’s legislative building have been quiet this session. That’s likely to change at least a little bit, anyway. The Legislative Counsel Bureau announced this week that close to 500 visitors will be allowed inside at any given time starting Monday.
The legislative building was at first closed to the general public and lobbyists in an effort to limit the risk of COVID-19 spreading among the state’s lawmakers as they convened for a session where much of their focus has been upon dealing with the fallout from the virus. Only legislators, certain essential staff and a handful of reporters were allowed inside. Everyone else, lobbyists included, has been required to participate virtually.

Elected officials could carry concealed guns inside NC legislature if bill becomes law Will Doran, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
May 13 RALEIGH North Carolina lawmakers voted Wednesday to allow any elected official to carry concealed weapons inside the General Assembly, including themselves.
But a different gun rights bill, House Bill 200, failed to pass. It would have allowed people to get permanent concealed-carry permits instead of needing to reapply regularly. The bill had been planned for a vote but was removed from the calendar at the last minute Wednesday, which likely killed the bill s chances this year.
Wednesday s votes were the last before the crossover deadline, when most bills have to pass at least one chamber at the legislature to have a chance for the rest of the session.
