First off i would like to apologize because i know this question might be asked a lot.
I am a resident in Fayetteville, North Carolina - 23 years old and i will be purchasing my first handgun in about 2 weeks (I already have my purchase permits, just waiting on the funds to collect my weapon)
My question is this: I have been told my a reputable Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer in town that you DO NOT need to have a permit to open carry and that you DO NOT need to register this weapon with the Sheriffs Office in order to LEGALLY open carry. My Family has some debates about this, saying that i do, in fact, need to have a permit to open carry, i understand that for a Concealed Carry, a permit is required, but because of mixed answers, im a bit confused about Open Carry, the information i have found online has not been completely definitive on the question i have. My aim here is to be 100% sure that i am legally allowed to open carry (except for certain specified places of course) without a permit or need to register - this will be my first firearm purchase for personal protection and i plan on wearing this on my belt for that same reason, but i want to be completely responsible about this and ensure that i am following the law correctly.
Any and all advice is extremely helpful and very appreciated.
Thank you.
Almond.
