(AP) \u2014 Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has signed a bill that will allow most adults to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.<\/p>\n<p>Burgum signed the bill late Thursday night. It would allow people 18 and older to forgo background checks and classes that are now required.<\/p>\n<p>The measure sailed through both houses of the GOP-led Legislature, with dissention largely among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters say the bill promotes constitutional rights and allows protection from criminals.
