Hey guys, another N.Carolina fella here. Just turned 21 last week and I've been a big gun user for years. I picked up my 2 purchase permits today along with a new Springfield Armory Champion 1911 .45ACP. She's a beauty and looks great with my Bushmaster XM15-E2S AR-15. I'll be practicing my rights to OC around the Fayetteville/Hope Mills area and hopefully get to meet some of the local OCers.

My in-laws live in Hope Mills...

Welcome to the forum, and welcome to the world of Open Carry.

You left out the announcement of a CRITICAL purchase of equipment that I assume you ALSO made in the line of OC--a pocket digital voice recorder. You DID get one of those too, right? :uhoh:

Good luck, and stay safe.

Thanks for the welcome, Dreamer. My Android can do all the recording but I will remember to pick up a standalone for easier access. :)

I don't think I've seen a single person OCing in the Hope Mills area. Pretty bad areas here and I definitely won't hesitate to protect myself nor my family as I have in the past with my long rifles.

Maybe we could get a group together for lunch sometime!

This is my first post as well. I'm not new to firearms, but I am to open carrying. I'm down to meet any evening this week to shoot or to eat.
