Have a VA CHP, but I usually OC in VA most places. Is the Charlotte area and surrounding area "OC Friendly" or should I just keep "low profile" and CC while I'm there? How about Concord and farther south around Waxhaw?
Thanks!
You might want to touch base with GrassRoots North Carolina
http://www.grnc.org/ - really good group - they have a similar forum.
NC preemption is not total or at least has its inconsistencies.
Some local restrictions. Cary, NC - no OC on public property, includes streets and sidewalks. Chapel Hill, NC - minimum barrel length - note not maximum.
No guns where alcohol served.
If stopped by LEO while driving, you must immediately notify.
Best to really do your research.
When I used to live in Charlotte, I had a special LEO ticket (Special Officer) from an exceptional NC Chief. Had full capacity, but primary purpose was to CC anywhere - those where the good ol' days, doubt the condition even exists any longer. Could tell you some sea stories. :lol:
