Any North Dakota Permit Holders on Here?

[MaineGlock]

I was wondering if there are any North Dakota permit holders on this form. I have moved back and sent in my permit for an address update. After waiting 45 days per the A.G.'s website I sent in a letter telling them I had not received the permit. After the new laws went into affect it seems that the A.G's office has become a whole less user friendly. Ya cant call in for a status or anything! UT got my permit back to me in a few weeks, and since AZ doesn't put the address on the permit I just had to fax them a form. I am covered to carry here in ND but would like the resident permit. That is my rant for the day.

Where can you carry there? My recollection is that ND didn't have the best carry law.

You can say that again. Having worked, lived and carried in ND, GA and Utah, I have concluded that a concealed carry permit in ND is only good for legally having a loaded weapon in your vehicle. It is a jumbled bunch of ridiculous laws that make it impossible to legally carry throughout your day. Here are a few:

Cannot carry in a Restaurant or Establishment that serves alcohol.
Cannot carry in a Gaming site.
Cannot carry in a Sporting event, school or school function, church or church function,
Political rally, music concert, public parks or any public gathering.
You can carry at a Roadside Rest stop BUT...not into the buildings at the Rest stop.
You can OPEN carry BUT...only if you have a permit.

Bottom line, North Dakota has Concealed Carry Permit laws but you can't carry!!!!
Most of these laws need to be legislated out.

I waited nearly 90 days for my permit to arrive. I know the AG's office won't accept any inquiries that you may have.

As far as where you can carry goes, I agree somewhat with your sentiment. Obviously, no liquor establishments. No churches or school gatherings. I teach, so I have to be careful as far as being on school grounds with a weapon in my vehicle. Also, no public gatherings... I've asked before on this site as to what constitutes as a public gathering. I haven't really gotten a concrete answer, so I just use my best judgement.

Where are you located? The only reason I ask is due to this oil boom in Western N.D. It has become a complete cluster f***. I know it is good for our economy, etc etc... but crime rates are flying through the roof. I have a good buddy who has worked on a rig before the boom occurred and his company has very strict policies against carrying. He loves his job and the money, but still carries regardless.

Best of luck to you.

You can't carry in ND? I think ND laws are pretty good compared with some other states. (they could be better) I can carry in about 99% of the places I want to go to on a daily basis. I have no desire to enter an alcohol or gambling establishment or school functions. (we homeschool) As far as concerts, there are barely any concerts in ND anyway! As far as "private off limit areas" go, the only "no weapons allowed" signs I have seen in the state were in hospitals. (and those are company policies that don't hold the weight of state law anyway) I carry all over town and in every business I go into. Other states have a lot more of those "no weapons" signs/off limit areas.

I live in ND and I can carry in about 99% of the places I go to on a daily basis. There are some off limit areas, and we need to work on getting them changed.

I didn't have any trouble with mine it took about 30 days, but that was last year when it renewed.
