Hi all! this is about my first experience open carrying in NC I am from SC and have been up here visiting my brother. I open carried into fastlane a business that works on ford cars. I wasnt wearing my jacket as I was rather hot and had brushed up on laws before coming here( or so I thought I did) so open carry was fine. As I was talking to the clerk a man stated outloud "your carrying a gun" I just looked at him and then went back to talking with the clerk, he then proceeded to say " You need to be carrying concealed" I simply stated " In NC your not required to have it CC" he continued to mutter under his breath saying hes prior law enforcement and I probably dont know what Im talking about. He also inquired probably thinking that I shouldnt have the hammer back on my 1911, I simply explained why it was safer this way then with the hammer down.
I was also open carrying in the hotel I was staying in just found out that was a no no. Wasnt aware of that one but didnt catch any flak from anyone other then the usual stares.
Maybe its just me but I find I get more stares and questions in NC as it being a traditional open carry state then georgia which is not since I open carry there also plenty of time.
