This was touched on in another thread but I wanted to focus on this because I think it is important. Read what the gun laws say:
"A permit does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun in the areas prohibited by G.S. 14‑269.2, 14‑269.3, 14‑269.4, and 14‑277.2, in an area prohibited by rule adopted under G.S. 120‑32.1, in any area prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 922 or any other federal law, in a law enforcement or correctional facility, in a building housing only State or federal offices, in an office of the State or federal government that is not located in a building exclusively occupied by the State or federal government, a financial institution, or on any other premises, except state‑owned rest areas or state‑owned rest stops along the highways, where notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a conspicuous notice or statement by the person in legal possession or control of the premises."
So to summarize guns are forbidden in the following places:
School property (14-269.2)
Alcohol is sold and consumed (14‑269.3)
parades, funeral processions, picket lines (14‑277.2)
Law enforcement or correctional facility (no statute)
In a building housing only State or federal offices (no statute)
In an office of the State or federal government that is not located in a building exclusively occupied by the State or federal government (no statute)
A financial institution (no statute)
Or on any other premises, except state‑owned rest areas or state‑owned rest stops along the highways, where notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a conspicuous notice or statement by the person in legal possession or control of the premise (no statute).
Clearly we can see weapons are forbidden on school grounds and such, and even If you have a permit you still cannot carry on those areas. Then it goes on and lists a few other areas with no statute backing up what they are saying. Does this mean we can OC in a Law Enforcement facility? I know you can in a bank, but it seems like there are certain places weapons are banned, and then certain areas CONCEALED weapons are banned (areas not backed with statutes).
Help me clear this up people. Can I really OC in a police station or a Federal office? I’m a little confused. (like gun laws are not confusing)
EDIT: changed to what Dreqo said below.
EDIT: put quotation marks on quote like Mike suggested
