Legislature Repeals Durham’s Jim Crow-Era Gun Registration Law
DURHAM — A local legislative bill created Durham County’s gun roll, the only firearm registration system in North Carolina, in 1935. State Sen. Mike Woodard, D-Durham, introduced a local bill that was passed into law June 18 abolishing the registration requirement. Because it was a local bill, it became law without the governor’s signature after passing both chambers of the General Assembly.
