NC Open Carry Flyer - May 24, 2017 Revision
Revisions to the May 24, 2017 Flyer:
Revisions to the June 19, 2014 Flyer:
I don't agree with the Durham ordinance because the NC Supreme Court has already ruled on the matter, but I figured it should be included because you can get charged.
Revisions to the October 6, 2013 Flyer:
Revisions to the October 1, 2013 Flyer:
From last uprev...
From previous uprev...
I created a new flyer and uploaded it to Google Docs. This was modeled on the last flyer and most of it is copied verbatim. Main changes to the flyer include the changes that occurred on Dec 1, 2011 which include:
- Removed the prohibition on carry in banks
- Modified the NC reciprocity information
Otherwise all the information is the same. Main differences being in some of the graphics and fonts.
I was thinking about putting in something to cover carry in Parks and Hunting and Fishing reservations and all that, but it seemed somewhat cumbersome for a space constrained flyer. if anyone wants to give it a crack, write something up and we'll see about putting it in.

NC Open Carry Flyer - May 24, 2017 Revision
Revisions to the May 24, 2017 Flyer:
- In the section titled "Places Where Firearms Are Prohibited", the GS site for item 5, State Parks, isn't complete. It should read "15A NCAC 12B.0901(a)."
- Same section, modified item 4 to describe the location of the demonstrations where carry is prohibited.
- Same section, modified item 6 to be more specific about federal buildings and the statute reference.
- Same section, replaced item 7 and put in NC 14-269.4 restrictions.
- Same section, removed item 8
- The footnote for the Durham City Ordinance is outdated. Sec 46-23 was repealed. It was replaced with a reference to Sec 46-22 which still is a prohibition on OC - but instead of in any "public place" it is on city owned property - which includes streets and sidewalks.
- Edition date changed from 6/19/2014 to 5/24/2017
Revisions to the June 19, 2014 Flyer:
- Modified the answer to the question "Do I have to Register My Handgun?" by removing the reference to the repealed Durham firearm registration.
- Included the new bs ordinance from Durham about restricting the display of firearms at any public place or public assembly for the question 'So I can just "Carry it" Openly?'
- Edition date changed from 10/6/2013 to 6/19/2014
I don't agree with the Durham ordinance because the NC Supreme Court has already ruled on the matter, but I figured it should be included because you can get charged.
Revisions to the October 6, 2013 Flyer:
- Added "How old do I need to be to Open Carry?" question
- Added "Do I need to be 21 to purchase a handgun?" question
- Changed "weapon" to "firearm" under "Won't the police hassle me..." question
- Changed "firearm" to "handgun" and "weapon" to "handgun" under "what about while driving?" question
- Some formatting changes
- Edition date changed from 10/1/2012 to 10/6/2013
Revisions to the October 1, 2013 Flyer:
- Added verbiage referencing State V. Kerner under the "So I can just 'Carry it' openly?" question.
- Removed ALL references to Concealed Carry and the CHP. This is, after all, a flyer concerning Open Carry. It would turn into a novel if I were to include all the CC caveats.
- Removed Footnote #2
- Changed "Places Where Firearms Are Prohibited" to list places where only Open Carry is prohibited
- Changed Bullet #5 in above from "Areas of Riot" to "State Parks"
- Removed Bullet #9 in above regarding CC prohibitions
- Removed sentence under above section regarding CC
- Edition date changed from 8/17/2012 to 10/1/2013
From last uprev...
- Under 3rd bullet item in the "Places Where Firearms Are Prohibited" section, added a closing parentheses to 'Home Schools exempted'
- Modified verbiage from "There is no law in North Carolina that prohibits.." to "There is no North Carolina law that prohibits..." under the question "Where can I find the statute that states that I can openly carry my handgun?" in the "Questions Regarding Open Carry" section.
- Modified bullet item 9 under "Places Where Firearms Are Prohibited:" to read "Carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited on any private premises where notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a conspicuous notice. (14-415.11(c))". It is a bit redundant, but that law is specific to CC.
- Removed Footnote detailing restrictions on open carry in Cary, NC. Cary has changed section 22-51.
- Removed remark about restrictions in Cary under the "So I can just 'Carry it' openly?" question in the "Questions Regarding Open Carry" section.
- Reformatted center column under "FOOTNOTES". Increased font size and vertically center the NC State Constitution quotation.
- Edition date changed from 7/11/2012 to 8/17/2012
