Hi. I live in TN and am somewhat new to OC. I usually CC but recently OCed to Walmart for the first time. It went quite well!!
I have a question about OCing in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I am going to be camping in Elkmont on the TN side and wondered what the ramifications are if I briefly cross the border into NC while walking the trails. I did some reading on opencarry.org and handgunlaw.us but I am still not 100% on whether Swain or Haywood counties prohibit OC. Also, if you happen to know...How do the rangers on either side of the border react to OC? Are they cool with it?
Are the laws in NC the same as TN where in National Parks you can carry as long as you don't enter a federal building? On handgunlaw.us it didn't specifically mention National Parks.
Thanks!
