OC Shopping trip in Raleigh...

These are excellent OC reports.

I think different people in different situations are going to have different reactions to employees, security, police, and other patrons of stores and public places. I guess if you look professional or official while OCing, your chances of being hassled are far less.

Now, the way I took information from my CCW class on malls, particularly Four Seasons here in Greensboro is that signage or not, the carrying of a fire arm is not exactly illegal, however, they can ask you to leave. If not you can be brought up on trespassing charges. Correct me if I'm wrong. I am also wondering now if they have to have signs in order to legally ask you to leave.

Libraries are kind of doubled up. Since usually they are government owned, I know here in Greensboro, the libraries are city owned and as far as I know it is a City ordinance/statute (whatever) that prohibits firearms on city property. But also, they may be considered educational premises as well (so that may cover places that are non-governmental such as some museums/learning centers).

I've looked through the Greensboro City code of ordinances, and I can find no prohibition for OC or CC of firearms on city property.

Of course, they may still post signs prohibiting firearms in city buildings, and on parks WITHOUT a specific ordinance, so you need to keep your eyes open for signage, but from what I read (or rather don't read) in their ordinances, there is no codified prohibition against firearms on city property...

You might want to check with the Chief of Police though, or the City's Attorney...

Oh, I eventually found the city ordinance, I had seen it once before several years ago so I knew it was in there: Chapter 18, Article II, Sections 21 through 25 - Offenses Against Public Safety. Most certainly illegal with the provision that the city posts signs stating no firearms (conspicous signs).
