I can't fault you for neither confirming or denying that you have done so. I can second that I may or may not make the same decision that you may or may not have made, after I get around to getting my CHP... The admission law really needs to get thrown out.. It sure isn't stopping a BG from bringing in a knife or gun to rob/attempt to kill me with
The problem with NC's prohibitions on silly places likce movie theaters or restaurants that serve alcohol is twofold.
First, we can NOT know ahead of time when or where a criminal will strike. SO if we are going to carry for self-defense, we need to be able to carry ANYWHERE we would go inthe normal course of a law-abiding person's day.
Second, by forcing law-abiding citizens to leave their guns in their cars--in dark, unattended parking lots for hours at a time--the State is actually PUTTING GUNS INTO THE HANDS OF CRIMINALS, by making them easier to steal. The NC Department of Justice's own statistics state that nearly 70% of all handguns reported stolen in NC are stolen from vehicles. If they REALLY wanted to cut down on firearms thefts from vehicles, they would repeal these silly prohibitions, and allow us to keep our self-defense firearms where they are safest--on our hip!
And if you are CCing, remember that concealed means CONCEALED. If they can't see it, they can't make it an issue. I'm not advocating that anyone break the law, just that if you're going to carry concealed, then make SURE it is well-concealed.
Just sayin'.
Good luck. Be Safe. Carry on...
