We live in NC and as far as we can tell, there is no SPECIFIC law stating it is legal to open carry, just an absence of one stating not to open carry, so it can be open to interpretation.
Thanks for the info Rayce Brannon as you are totally correct. I guess I used the wrong choice of words on what I was trying to get at. I am fairly new to OC and this forum, hence why I like it so much, everyone is helpful in here. Anyways, I guess what I was getting at, it would be alot more of a comfort if NC was more specific as is VA from what I can read and them being a "Gold Star Open Carry State" according to the Maps on the home page here.
Might say I expect to run across that one percent with the luck I have! :lol:
Thanks again!
Semper Fi !

:banghead:NTSA!!!Or giving him his first target, pro's and con's for each.
Yeah... NTSA for sure. I almost replied to that... same as you did. 'Just ONE verifiable instance out of.... how manyhundreds of thousandsof OC'rs? If that were the case... it'd be reported... somewhere... and frequently. It's not... never has been. It's an invalid ASSUMPTION... and projection. It's based entirely on emotional hysteria. Much of it from those who have never carried a gun 'n don't even own one.Geronimo44 wrote::banghead:NTSA!!!Or giving him his first target, pro's and con's for each.
Please show us one (JUST ONE) incident (verifiable) that has an OC'er being targeted by a criminal.
There are two incidents posted on this site, one has been debunked the other was posted by a former OCDO member but no onehas been able to verify his story.
So, both of these are fairly tales.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
This is totally correct as far as it goes. However, there is one thing to keep in mind in regards to the overall OC debate...Geronimo44 wrote::banghead:NTSA!!!Or giving him his first target, pro's and con's for each.

Rob guy with a gun...
Rob a guy with no gun...
Hmmm? :quirky Decisions , decisions...
A tactical vest makes open carry safer than concealed, too.

If OC becomes too common then it loses some of the shock value that deters criminals from attacking OC'ers, and the percentage of OC'ers who should REALLY not be OC'ing will go up. This could result in a few criminals getting away with robbing an OC'er for their gun and money, and then all of us will be vulnerable because the criminals know it can be done.
Fortunately I doubt the day of attacks on OC'ers being remotely common will ever come, but it is disingenuous to claim that assaults on OC'ers will never happen.
Timeless and still empty rhetoric re preemptive strikes and the danger of OCing = urban legend and old wives tales.arentol wrote:This is totally correct as far as it goes. However, there is one thing to keep in mind in regards to the overall OC debate...

:idea:Those same people would probably be targeted if they CC'ed or didn't carry.
I am all for OC, and do it myself when I can, so I am NOT trying to argue against it in any way. However, I do think I am making a valid point...Timeless and still empty rhetoric re preemptive strikes and the danger of OCing = urban legend and old wives tales.
It is almost funny when these implications make the blogs anew.
