NC law states that the weapon can't be within easy reach. So if it is in the front seat next to you, then you may be in violation of the law.

Also How could i be charged with that going armed to the terror of the sheep dont i have to meet 4 requirements and isnt it the mischevious and or malacious act that constitutes it.

It can't be concealed and easy reach. If it is open and within easy reach it is fine and if it is concealed and not in easy reach it is fine. And you do have to meet all four criteria to be convicted of going armed to the terror of the public. A person must (1) arm himself with any unusual and dangerous weapon, (2) for the purpose of terrifying others, and (3) go about on public highways (4) in a manner to cause terror to others. A person can always be charged with anything,that's the price we pay for living in a law and order society, ifa chargesticks is another matter.

I don't know anyone who has been charged with GATTTOTP. North carolina law does not distinguish between a loaded and unloaded firearm. Most of the time if you know the law and obey it, you will be fine.

Like I said, you can be charged with anything at anytime. If the charges stick or not is another issue. It is legal to walk around with one in the tube. A person cannot be arrested for open carrying a firearm period. There is no such law. Another B.S. law like GATTTOTP or Disorderly conduct is the only reason a person could be arrested for open carrying a firearm and if it stuck would be up to a jury of your "sheeple" peers.

So imho I dont think you could be convicted of this if you are minding your own buisness and doing it peacefully

Look up NC's two OC Supreme Court decisions: State v. Kerner and State v. Fennell. A person cannot be convicted for OC'ing a "legal" firearm.
