I've been searching and it looks like there's just not a lot of people on OCDO with direct experience OCing in the OBX, so I'm going to start this topic up again. After all, it IS beach season, and many of us will be headed out that way this summer, and with the change in National Parks laws, this topic needs to be addressed--not just for NC residents, but for out-of-state visitors too...
My sister and nephew are in town this week, and we were planning to go out to Jockey Ridge to fly kites and maybe up to Kitty Hawk to see the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
I know that Jockey Ridge is a State Park, and therefore carry of any type is prohibited under NC State law. So although I'm not happy about that, I think I'm clear on the law, and the applicable restrictions...
Kitty Hawk, however, is a National Park. I'm assuming that OC and CC (with a permit) are legal there now, due to the new firearms laws that went into effect earlier this year. Is this correct?
Has anyone had any experience OCing out there on the Outer Banks? I know that a lot of the parks (state and federal) are interlaced with NC Wildlife Refuge Lands, and carry on those places is sort of dicey, depending on the time of year (hunting seasons, etc). But I'm pretty sure WBNM is completely OC-OK. I guess I'll find out first-hand when we get there...
I will be posting pics when we get back from our trip--I live close enough that it's an easy day-trip...
