How's it going guys and gals? I recently found this site and I absolutley love it, there is so much information to be found here and it's alot of help.
Anyways, I'm seeking some advice. I'm in the Rocky Mount area of NC, and I'm trying to find info on OCing. I am not yet 21 so I can't apply for a CCW permit, so my only other option is OC. Most likely I will not OC often, but I would like to keep a pistol in my vehicle as often as possible.
From what I can tell after reading the NC statutes, one can legally be in possession of a handgun if over the age of 18, this firearm can be openly carried, or in this person's vehicle as long as it is not concealed in any manner. PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, I have been reading over laws over and over again and I just needsome guidance.
Here's some info on me: I'm not a big guy, 5' 10" and about 150lbs, white, buzzed blonde hair, and I'm enslited in the Navy andI ship in August of 2010. I'm afraid I will quickly be noticed by others and certainly LEOs if I choose to OC. I know a LEO would question me if he saw me with a gun on my hip just because I don't look 21 and up.
Should I OC if it's legal for me to do so? Do you think I will get negative reactions frequently? Will I be in violation of the law that states you cannot carry to intimidate others if someone chooses to call the PD?
Any and all help is appreciated, Thanks.
P.S. I've read NC's knife laws over and over. But I needto know ifit's legal to OC a fixed blade knife. I carry one often, as I am outdoors alot and hunt frequently and don't want to get in trouble for having it on me.
