I am new to OC in NC, I have OC'd in Missouri for several years and haven't really done much since i have been stationed in NC beacause I was unsure of the details of the NC gun laws. I was standing a 24 hour duty and spent a lot of time looking up informaiton. I pulled up the NC flyer and have since then passed it out to all my Marines. I hope one day that seeing law abiding citizens legaly carrying will be the norm and not looked down on. The reason most people have a problem with it is because its not normal and they think its wrong since you don't have a badge attached to that gun. If more people was informed and excercised their rights given to us then it wouldn't be as big of an issue.

I usually bounce around Fayetteville and haven't been deep into Jacksonville.

Add your 25 establishments to "friend or foe"?? http://friendorfoe.us/

Welcome and thanks for your service!!!
