Smells like discrimination and a law suit. More than enough to bring him into court and test the limits of his liability policy. (these are things my job deals with )

Gun owners are not protected under any Federal or State anti-discrimination laws. Additionally North Carolina is a employ at will State, which basically means an employer can terminate you at any time for any reason or without any reason .
The exceptions being those covered by a collective bargaining agreement (union yes types) , and of course Federal & State Anti- discrimination laws (none of which protect gun owners).
Literally an employer could legally place an ad saying , "we don't discriminate against race, ethic orgin, religion or sexual orientation (that one depends on the particular State) but if you OWN and carry a firearm WE WILL NOT HIRE YOU. If we hire you and find out you own/carry a gun you will be immediately terminated."
We as the gun owner would have zero recourse, it's just not actionable under our current laws.
yepHmm so you don't have a permit, and you're wondering if you can conceal on someone else's private property? Is that what you're wondering?
im good to go to open carry though correct?Legally, no, you may not. NC law restricts the carriage of any concealed weapon unless you are on your own premises.

On the other hand, concealed is concealed. :? Anyway it appears that you do not have the legal option to conceal until you are eligible for andhaveattained a permit.
If you or someone else are in immediate fear for their life, and cannot safely retreat, then you would probablybe justified in using deadly force to stop the threat. Deadly force is NOT the same as threatening deadly force. The only State I know of where "brandishing" your firearm to deter someone is legal is Arizona, and that was passed rather recently.
There's really no law to print out since since there's no law that says it's legal to open carry. The catch is there's no law that says you CAN'T open carry...so you can!
Keep the weapon visible at all times, stay out of the off-limits areas, and you'll be fine. Loaded, cocked, and locked is the way to be .
