New NC resident working on getting my NC CCW but in the mean time working off my FL CCW that reciprocates. Does NC have any restrictions on places to CC besides the typical schools, government buildings, jails, etc? Any restrictions on gathering places, sporting events, or churches?



Thanks

A synopsis here, with links to the applicable laws.

And you can go to the root of the site for links to other states.

OP the answer to all your question can be found in chapter 14 article 54 b of the NC general statutes.

Another vote for handgunlaw.us

They have been one of  the most reliable source for current and correct info on carry laws even over some of the NC based web sites.

They also have direct links to the state government sites so you can read it for yourself.

Biggest thing to remember is that signs carry the weight of law.  You don't have to be asked to leave before you can be changed with trespass if the area is posted no firearms and your caught carrying concealed there.

thank you.
so by my understanding church is OK as all assembly and bars and restaurants as long as I'm not drinking and they don't have signs requesting no firearms, which is a moot point since I won't patronize such places

Just be sure the church doesn't have an educational facility as part of their property. If they have a school there then the entire property is off limits even on weekends when school is out.

Not sure about that, they state "They have 45 days to issue or deny your application"  I don't think that is correct, I think it is 45 days, after receipt of mental health records.



From: https://mcso.permitium.com/ccw/start

"The Sheriff has forty-five (45) days from the time all application
materials, to include receipt of the mental health records, are received
to either issue or deny a permit. N.C. General Statute 14-415-15(a)."

They are trying to give you the high points, not every single detail. At least the time frame is correct. They do give links to the exact state ".gov" pages that give every single detail including the prior offenses that are problems as well as other more detailed legalieze.

I still stand by them being one of the most current sources. They were more current on the 2013 statute changes than the state own web site was.

I can tell you that regardless of the law, I will always carry in church.

Years ago members of my family were attacked by a gunman at a church. My cousin was shot, and her grandparents on her mother's side were shot and killed.  

so, yea.

When I visited NC in late May, I carried in church. Made sure to check the laws beforehand.
