I understand the first piece as it clearly says "ANY" person. But I am not so clear on "A" person in regards to someone that holds valid permit to carry concealed. Tried to look for clarification but I would like to know if anyone knows:

1. If this does not apply to a person with CCW permit
2. Do I contact Attorney General's office for clarification or BCI?

Thank you in advance.

It means anyone in spite of the permit. You could contact the AG's office.

I'd say contact Wayne Stenehjem, your AG.

He is a great guy. And you can probably actually talk to him. He was my lawyer when I lived in GF, ND.

Can't wait until I get back up there so I can get my ND non-res.

In that case, any way to receive an exception as non-LEO or with any reason?

I have no immediate threat, but I will be going for my graduate work soon and I think I would feel naked without one as i have been wearing it everyday for the last 2 years.
