Makes for an interesting conversation piece, “Upon the customer saying no, we are to ask the customer to conceal their weapon (regardless if they have a CWP or not as we are not instructed to ask” because NC law is Home Depot is private property and if the owner gives you permission to conceal a weapon its legal. Right?

Huh?

That's a stretch.

Since when can a private party "order" or "suggest"another party to violate the existing law regarding CC and somehow override such existing law?

A stretch.

I suppose someone should get a note to HD legal that their instructionsshould "in no way suggest to customer that he should violate applicable state or federal firearms carry laws."

Lawyers. Everybody wantsta be a lawyer...

What's more, the guy supposedly contacted their "legal team" about this - which we all know means he made it up because no lawyer in his right mind would suggest such a thing.

Depends on how the judge rules... in Theseus' case here in CA, his judge essentially ruled businesses aren't private property, and the owner's permission doesn't mean squat.

yeah i would tend to agree with you on that, there are numerous cases where state and federal law superceeds private property rights, especially in cases where that property is a business that is open to the public... i wouldnt want to be the test case that establishes this ruling...

Yes but then you get into "posting of a sign" here in NC, owner can post a sign to keep out certain classes of people from thier place. Like I said just interesting conversation.

The whole thing is really quite simple actually. Acknowledge and move on. A company like HD is not worth the efforts.

14‑269. Carrying concealed weapons.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person willfully and intentionally to carry concealed about his person any bowie knife, dirk, dagger, slung shot, loaded cane, metallic knuckles, razor, shurikin, stun gun, or other deadly weapon of like kind, except when the person is on the person's own premises.
(a1) It shall be unlawful for any person willfully and intentionally to carry concealed about his person any pistol or gun except in the following circumstances:
(1) The person is on the person's own premises.

FWIW, my CCP instructor told a business owner that he did not need a permit to carry in his business. The business also sells alcohol for consumption on site. My instructor was accurate on all his other observations, including OC. Don't know if there have been cases where this was disproved. Not as relevant to the OP, but to the later posts.
