Hi all! Been reading this site for awhile and have to say, it is very informative. Lot's of good people on here and it's refreshing. A little history about me.
Served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 7 years from 97-04 ( had a VA CCW which expired in Nov 08
Just applied for my NC one today .....ahhhh 90 days...
I carried almost everyday when I was in the service in Virginia. I got out of the military and had to sell most of my guns due to new baby and transition.
I am now a salesman in the pharmaceutical industry and have just recently started to replenish my arsenal. On hand I have the New HK45, Stag AR-15, Mossy Tactical Persuader, and Tikka T3 30-06----a very versatile arsenal
My interest in carrying again started the other day when 3 guys in a car (road rage fingers exchanged) chased me for about 10 miles. They were riding my tail and passed me in a 2 lane road in an attempt to pull in front of me and stop me. I had NO gun in the car(wish I did) but I had a Federal Hydrashok .45ACp bullet in my car. I showed it to them when they pulled up beside me, smiled really big, and they took off after that. I am glad they didn't call my bluff because I would have been screwed.
In the interim, I called around to a few different county Sheriff’s dept's and got conflicting info on OC. I even tried to educate them on NC State law.......their explanation was that most cities have certain ordinances that loophole through the state law. Also got a few quotes like " this isn't like the westerns, you just can't do that." Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and rant a little bit.
Nice to meet you all!
