If i carry my .40 cal on my hip, shirt tucked behind the weapon, would that be illegal or no? If i read right i understand that in Durham it is a no go but anywhere other than that?

DefAtt: Was he obscuring it with a backpack or some other object?
Fife: No
Under NC law, if a firearm is "recognizable as a firearm" is it NOT concealed.
If you are carrying IWB with the butt out and in the open, and a cop stops you because he sees a gun, he can CHARGE you with anything he wants. Bu tit won't stand op in court if your lawyer has enough braincells to tie his own shoes...
Such a case SHOULD go like this:
Defense Attorney: So, Officer Fife, under what charge did you arrest the defendant?
Officer Fife:"Carrying a concealed handgun without a permit.
DefAtt: Did you receive a complaint or had he threatened anyone with his firearm?
Fife: No
DefAtt: How was the defendant carrying this firearm?
Fife: In an IWB holster.
DefAtt:Was his shirt or jacket covering the grip?
Fife: No
DefAtt: Was he obscuring it with a backpack or some other object?
Fife: No
DefAtt: So how did you know he was carrying a concealed firearm?
Fife: Because I could clearly see the grip and rear portion of the gun.
DefAtt: And it was readily identifiable as a firearm?
Fife: Yes.
DefAtt: Your honor, move to dismiss, as there was no violation committed, per NC Statute.
Judge: Case Dismissed...
To be honest, I might've bowed down as well. Simply for the fact that I can't afford to post bail and would've had to just sit in jail, or to get an attorney, or any of the court fees. But I would gladly stand up for those rights if somebody else feels like bailing me out of jail and getting me an attorney lol
Know your rights, know the laws.Sc0tt said:As much as I hate to say it but I'd fold like a wet paper towel in most cases when arrest is threatened.
I don't have the money for bail, a lawyer or a new gun.
Because even if you win your case they not going to give it back to you.
