I did a search and couldn't find anything specific to my question, but thanks anyway.

try GATTTOTP, that's the shorthand here for Going Armed to the Terror of the Public (or People). Basically, it's doing what it's intended too by most folks that bring it up. Scare you out of carrying. However, that's a gross misuse of the idea.
Short answer, Could you get arrested? Yes. You can get arrested for darn near anything.
Would it stick simply for OC'ing? Highly unlikely, to the point that I can't think of a single instance of it in NC. And believe me I, or folks here, have been looking. There was one that came very close, but they ended up substituting a city statute for GATTTOTP and they guy was breaking the city statute by carrying on city property.
And someone's complaint is not the key criteria for using GATTTOTP, terrorizing the public is the key criteria. Read through the case law I posted above. It's pretty enlightening.
