Open Carry in NC?

[SWMP9X19]

Well, I'm not chiefjason (I have been known to be in the same vicinity occasionally) but I can tell you one place you can open carry in NC that you can not CC is in a financial institution that isn't posted.

Read NC general statutes it is unlawful to carry in ANY financial institution, also posting to a comment further down the page by NC law cities townships, commonwealths cannot differ alter or adopt any law or regulation infringing on firearm laws of the state.

Do you realize you are quoting a post that is approaching 2 years old?

At the time of that post, it was against NC law to carry concealed into a financial institution but there were no laws making open carry illegal unless the institution was posted no firearms. Since then the NC statue 14‑415.11 has changed and neither concealed carry nor open are specified illegal in financial institutions except when their premises are posted.

You can see the changes made that took effect December 1, 2011 at SL2011-0268

Note item c8 of 14-415.11 has a strike thru.

They can on THIER ( read publicly owned) property. But you have to go out of the 14-criminal statutes and look at the city and county statutes to find that. Also, Cary and Chapel Hill have some oddities that were grandfathered in. Basically what I am getting at the the preemption statute is pretty weak and not nearly as all inclusive as you would think.
