BISMARCK - Most adult North Dakotans will soon be able to carry a hidden gun without a permit.
The new measure that goes into effect on Tuesday allows law-abiding adults to forgo background checks and classes that are now required to carry a concealed gun.
The measure is among more than 400 new laws about to take effect.
One new law reduces penalties for first-time drug offenders.
Another says students can't be prohibited from participating in student-initiated prayer at school activities.
