Hey everyone, I've been on OC.org for a few months mainly just researching but I figured i would make a thread and say hi.I livein elizabeth city, i havent seen any open carry dinners in my area yet though:(.



Anyways I have a question aswell, I was living in Va and bought a 1911 from a private seller because im 18. Can I OC in north carolina at 18? would i need to carry something to prove i bought the gun in VA since i dont have a nc purchase permit?

thank you

Looks like you're legal.

As for carrying proof that you bought the handgun in Virginia, you don't need it. You don't have to prove you bought it legally, the state has to prove you bought it illegally. Besides, there's nothing that says an 18-20 year old can't get a pistol purchase permit.
