    NC OC experience reports

    Some amusement while grocery shopping at Walmart today: A young black man was there with his 5 children. The two young boys asked Is that a real gun? Yes. Do you have bullets? Yes Are you a policeman? No Are you going to shoot someone? I hope not. Why do you have it? So I can shoot back...

    NC OC experience reports

    Decided on Subway sandwiches for supper tonight, so I stopped by our local place on the way home. At the entrance, a sign was posted with Subways's "request" that customers not OC, even in states where OC is legal. I pondered that for just a moment, then decided that I was hungry, I like...

    Open Carry While Running?

    Don't you just hate auto-fill (practice). If it is a small gun, secure it to an arm with tape or Ace bandage. Feeling bold? Carry it holstered in your hand.

    Carrying while wearing a mask??

    "Program Attorneys" are the ones in each state that members can call for legal assistance, including answers. Memberships are state based and you are issued a card with the name and number of the attorney to contact if needed.

    NC's nefarious Legislature at it again...

    This is a pared down version of the bill she introduced in May 2019 (Gun Violence Prevention Act https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocument/2019/289/0/DRH10046-ML-28). That one was so all-inclusive that it went to "incarceration". Per the antis' plan, she is now working by incremental...

    NC OC experience reports

    Sounds a lot like Cross Creek mall in Fayetteville. Firestone is adjacent to the JC Penney wing. No signage at that entrance, unlike at the main entrance on the side between that wing and the former Sears section. The man with the empty holster either came in that way, or paid attention to...

    That might be worth a call to the program attorney in Washington.

    interesting msnbc poll on "gun carry in public"

    Only 46% say YES; with 1,502,000 or 3,280,000 respondents. 1,745,000 say No, it's too dangerous. 1% (33,000) say Only for self defense. Good luck finding the who/what/why for this.

    county owned, privately leased - ban carry?

    Pier Associates has leased the pier from the county for a continuing long term period. Since they leased it, rather than being contracted to operate it on behalf of the county, it is a case of 'their land, their rules'. If FL has something contrary in their law, lets hear from a FL resident...

    Transferring ownership

    CoL advises there is no case law for this. I won't be that case. 14-402 is pretty clear: § 14-402. Sale of certain weapons without permit forbidden. (a) It is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation in this State to sell, give away, or transfer, or to purchase or receive, at any place...

    Transferring ownership

    Quite possibly due to the 4 years between the revision of one and the other. And not making the connection with the phrase of purchasing one handgun.

    NC OC experience reports

    Glad to hear you and yours are okay. Sorry about the truck. Spent the morning in the downtown banking area of the Queen City. BoA, Wells Fargo, US Bank, and 1st Citizens, OCing the 1911. Several security guards (all unarmed) noted the gun, and had no untoward comments. The patrolman I...

    CCW Permit with a 22 year old felony conviction

    Meanwhile, something such as I carry is completely legal for you also. You just can't CC. I carry an 1858 Remington New Army revolver in .44 caliber. A pre-1898 handgun, or replica, that cannot fire modern ammo is outside ATF and NC regulations. Even felons have rights; they just have to...

    Transferring ownership

    The folks above almost got it right. For you to get possession (lawfully) of handguns, you must first obtain the Pistol Purchase Permit. Present that to your mom, and she presents you with the guns. Done. see NCGS 14-402 (a) The PPP allows one handgun per permit. see NCGS 14-403. The...

    A thought after you have used your SD firearm to defend yourself/loved ones...

    Call 911, report a shooting at ______ and request police. "I shot that guy because I was in fear of my/my loved ones life. There is his weapon." Nothing more without my attorney; probably won't give any statement for 24-48 hours. After all, a cop doesn't.

    Pine Forest High Student Had "assault rifle" in car

    We are working toward all my single shot .22s being called 'assault' rifles. But, as far as being on school property, caliber makes no difference.
