Anyone know any open carry friendly places in NC?
Okay, thank you. But I know walmart, target, CVS, Walgreens, and a few others do not allow open carry. Do you know of any stores that do? Resturants?
Okay, much appreciated thank you. See im 18, so I can only open carry not conceal. I did set up a petition, and contacted the governor to let NC have Constitutional Carry, no response yet though
I know, but I meant as permitless conceal carry for those 18+ and not just for those who are 21 as it is now
I live in NC. Why would you want to open carry instead of concealed, which just seems easlier all the way around.

Because Im 18, not 21. I can’t legally conceal carry.

Gotcha. Outside of the police, I’ve never seen someone open carry in downtown Charlotte. I suspect that they would drag you in using terror to the populace, or so I have heard. Outside of major cities you’ll likely not be bothered at all.
§ 14-288.3. Provisions of Article intended to supplement common law and other statutes.
The provisions of this Article are intended to supersede and extend the coverage of the common-law crimes of riot and inciting to riot. To the extent that such common-law offenses may embrace situations not covered under the provisions of this Article, however, criminal prosecutions may be brought for such crimes under the common law. All other provisions of the Article are intended to be supplementary and additional to the common law and other statutes of this State and, except as specifically indicated, shall not be construed to abrogate, abolish, or supplant other provisions of law. In particular, this Article shall not be deemed to abrogate, abolish, or supplant such common-law offenses as unlawful assembly, rout, conspiracy to commit riot or other criminal offenses, false imprisonment, and going about armed to the terror of the populace and other comparable public-nuisance offenses.

Alright, but I still do know which stores allow you to open carry. Because, I know I’ll probably be kicked from Walmart. So, I’d like to shop at a store or eat at restaurants that support my right to carry. Also, fortunately I don’t live at Charolette anyway, but thanks for the headsup.
@AdamThePatriot. I’m a NC resident, conceal-carry 99% of the time, and don’t frequent the larger cities. But given that, I see open-carry all the time, and have never seen a person asked to leave a place because of it. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it is rare.
Trial-and-error brother. Carry on, if an establishment asks you to leave, leave, and don’t go back.
I hope you consider conceal-carry when you reach 21. I’m an old fart, and need every tactical advantage I can get if, heaven forbid, I have deploy on Mr. Bad Guy. It’s good to keep them guessing.

Yessir, I plan to conceal carry when I turn 21. My mission right now is to get conceal carry for those who are 18+, would be great.

Thank you so much for the solid information on the open carry issue. As a refugee from the frozen tundra I am happy hear of the firm adherence to our 2nd amendment rights in NC . I joined USCCA to become informed and actively pursue with other patriots, our foundational rights as Americans. My question is, who will the gun grabbers send to confiscate our weapons and what will be our organized, legal and tactical response to that illegal act toward us?

I would like to meet other USCCA members in my area ( High Point NC). It would be nice to meet other like minded folks for coffee and talk about these issues and go to the range together.

I’m down in Charlotte, probably too far unless there is a decent range in the middle.

That’s a little far from me, but maybe sometime in the future it could happen. I love coffee, and guns.
