Moving to NC, OC Question?

Nope, no need for a permit to carry openly; only concealed. There are a couple of places that you can't legally carry according to state law, though. If you take the time to read some of the posts here in the NC section, you'll find everything you need to know.

What part of NC will you be moving to?

Oh I see. No, no permit of any kind is required. You don't have to provide proof that the gun is yours or anything like that. The permit to purchase is just and only that.

Greenville isn't a bad area. I'm only about an hour from there, near Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point. FWIW I've also open carried in the commercial areas of Greenville a few times with no problems. Unfortunately the mall there is under new management, and they decided to put "no snub-nosed revolvers" signs on every door. Prior to that, I had even open carried in the mall w/o problems.

I lived in Jacksonville when I was in the gun club.. but then I moved to GV to go to school. Greenville is actually pretty damn bad... we had a shootout in the Ihop parking lot near my apartments.. too many fuckin thugs in Greenville. :cuss:

Wow, I stand corrected. After you said that, I took a moment to compare crime rates of Greenville to a couple of other cities. Chicago looks worse, butNY has better numbers than Greenville. Thats sad.

So you've lived in the area before? How come ya don't know the laws better?
