Didn't know where to put this. But the president of a NC concealed carry group at was praising being able concealed carry in Charlotte. Beside the fact if you are hiding your GUN no one should know anyway
I reminded him that NC was still an open carry state.

Let's look at the intelligence of this. Rioting is being reported in Charlotte, instead of staying home this genius is bragging about carrying in Charlotte. This is like the idiots who have beer parties on the beach during a hurricane.

Wolf, one thing I despise, is going to Charlotte anyway. But if I had to go there I would definitely be carrying. Of course, I carry everywhere any way

Walking the perimeter of a strip mall, on the way to the grocery store, I pass a bar with several, fellow people of color outside. Of course, they see me, stop their convo, and rudely stare like they're watching to see what Harambe does to the little boy. When I pass, one guy says to the rest of them, "Man, I wouldn't go around like that, these days. Somebody might think you da poh lease!" A few of them expressed their agreement. :rolleyes:

I guess the BLM crowd thinks that someone OCing justifies them being shot at, now? :uhoh:

I am new to the forums, so I was kind of curious how many citizens exercise their 2ndin NC. I just recently came back from Okinawa and I been out of the loop for a while now. Started OC'ing in Walmart, restaurants near by, and Pets stores you name it not a single problem or stare so far, maybe because is NC after all a real Free state, unlike Florida they treat you like second class citizens. However, I just got kicked out of the Mall the other day to my surprise I didn't know it was a gun-free zone, :confused:. Anyways, I like reading other peoples experience, I am also wondering if they are others around my Area would like to get together on the weekends.

Welcome to OCDO - lots of good people here.

Most malls are GFZs.

Meet 'n' greets - build it and they will come. :)

NC is mostly gun friendly except for liberal hangouts(malls). I am seeing more and more people OCing, I am no longer the lone wolf in the community. I was at Lowes Lumber for a few minutes to pick up a couple of blocks, and saw two other customers OCing.

Unfortunately I cannot OC in the doctors office as it is part of the hospital. Though my cardiologist in Raleigh so far has not said a word about my OC firearm.

I want to put a finer point on the OC in malls - most of the Mall anchor stores own their on buildings and generally allow OC - it is the common area of the Mall that is typically non-OC.

Thank you guys for the warm welcome. I'm glad there is a lot support out there, being that I reside on a Military town I don't get to see other members exercising their right, usually the older crowd like myself do. Btw, I have been reading the Mall Code of conduct, all I think of communist rule of conduct, the OWNERs are more than welcome to move N Korea or Cuba. I for one won't be going to the Mall anytime soon.

while relaxing on the back porch in the din of having my roof shingles scrapped, off the neighbor showed up in my backyard ~ lived here quite awhile and never seen a soul from the house 3 doors down...

but we chatted about the blokes replacing the roof and then he asked about my firearm...we chatted further....:cool:

good conversation, which ended as he was invited up to continue the conversations.

Looking forward to having my limb damaged roof replaced. Insurance adjuster tried to buy me off cheap. I have OCd each time the contractor visits - no problem.

Quick trip out to Wal-Mart and Food Lion to pick up final cooking items for tomorrow. Met a young man OCing in Food Lion. He was carrying inside the waistband, small of the back, no holster. Said that's how he does it, it works for him, and he goes nowhere without it. I invited him to visit this forum, wished him well, and moved on. Nothing to see here.
