There has been a new law passed GATTTP, and if even one person saw me OC and was afraid he could arest me and seize my firearm and he didn't want that to happen to me (how nice of him)[esp when he added that he was a member of the NRA as well] so he recommended that I not OC anymore.
You can't argue with an LEO on the street. Thank them for their suggestions, and then go about your business. If you were doing anything illegal, he would arrest or cite you. Since you weren't, his actions were edging dangerously close to harassment, especially since he flat-out lied about some "new law"...
Be polite. Be quiet. Don't volunteer any information, opinions, or debate.
But most importantly, at the first HINT of any possible interaction, hit "record" on your pocket voice recorder, and be sure to get the officer's name and badge number and you might even speak a date and time on the recorder before the conversation get's too far along.
OC is 100% legal in NC in most locations. Any LEO who says differently is just voicing his own personal bias, and is giving you false information, and attempting to intimidate you under "color of law".
Seeing as how there hasn't been a session of the NC General Assembly since this summer, and the next session doesn't open until January, I find it hard to believe there is any "new law about "GAttTotP" on the books, because if there were, it would have been a SERIOUS "hot topic" on this forum!
First you should make a copy of the voice recording you have of the encounter (you DID make a voice recording of this, right?!?), and schedule a meeting with his Chief or Sheriff, and hand-carry it to the meeting, and have them explain what this "new law about GAttTotP" is. Have them quote the exact statute number, and show you a copy of this law in the North Carolina General Code.
We've hashed the GAttTotP thing over and over again on this forum, quoting court cases and case law, and the FACT is that GAttTotP has NOTHING to do with whether or not other people are "a-feared" of your firearm. It is ENTIRELY predicated on the INTENT of the person carrying the firearm. If you are carrying for lawful reasons (self-defense included) then it doesn't matter how many frantic soccer moms call 911 to report a MWAG--you are NOT guilty of GAttTotP. Period.

If his commander won't give you the statute and refuses to "correct" this officer, you need to let them know that you will be filing a formal complaint with their office, the DA and the State AG. You also should let him know that if you are arrested for lawfully OCing by any of his officers, that you will be filing a Federal 1983 Civil Rights suit with the FBI, for police harassment under Color of Law.
You might want to print out copies of the "Huntley" and "Kerner" cases for the "commanders" edification...
They CAN'T just make up the law based on personal bias, and when they DO, they need to be held publicly accountable for it.
At least that is what I'd do...
You may want to consult a lawyer too.
And forchrissake, if you haven't bought a small digital voice recorder after thsi incident (and the other ones you have posted) you should go to freaking WalMart TODAY and buy one, and use it EVERY time you go out.
