No gun zones

georgel said:
I believe that has been the experience for many here. You're just asked to leave or leave the gun in car. I think people only get charged when things escalate and get into trespass, etc. But, that's not a hard fast rule.



Snide remarks are the norm here. (especially on Friday) The type of response to snide remarks indicates that persons wiliness to be a part of the community.

Just sayin'

I get that ,I wasn’t trying to be rude to triple07 it’s just frustrating when other users (not them but other users private messaging me ) rude things when I’m just trying to learn.hope I didn’t offend anyone.
 
It’s as bad as asking for help on a Linux forum. Ask a question, get beat about the head with “do your own homework”

i like handgunlaw.us because they reference statutes in their write ups. You will have this question again when you travel, and they have a brief for each state.

No worries. If I'm going to be nasty, it's always in the open forum. I don't ever put anyone on Ignore or use PM to be nasty. On the rare occasions I take a shot at a post or poster, It's right out there for all to see. Most of us get over it pretty quick.

While websites like that are great references if I am spending any real amount of time in a state I also what the actual STATE STATUTES from their official website … I have even printed them out for better review. Things like signage requirements (well defined regulated in size and posting) in SC are good to read the actual statutes for better understanding PLUS you are almost guaranteed to have the most up to date statutes since it is state maintained not 3rd party.

If someone is being rude to you in private, via PM, they should be beaten for not sharing.

K-9 patrols can be real or for some for appearance. I will point out a security company with virtually zero power outside of calling the real badges better be careful with K-9’s and their use in a litigious happy society. A wrong bark or worse bite and somebody wins a lawsuit lottery.

Worth remembering
Fed courts confirm you can yell "f- you!" at the police (Thurairajah v fort smith), and the real police are the ones who can make your life miserable
rentacops aren't going to get a nicer treatment from me.
Are they acting on behalf of the mall? sure. Am I going to stop for them if they ask. nope. Will I leave if they tell me I have to? sure. I'm no trespasser. but they'd hear some impolite things.

Back in college, I worked for a “record” store. Yes, I’m dating myself. One spring sales were SLOW. I was sent down to sit outside the competitors store and count the traffic and how many came out with purchases. I sat in a public area, for being a mall, and did my job. I was confronted by the mall goon squad as to what I was doing and they insisted I go talk to that store manager. I refusedk said I was following my orders, and walked back to my store. They followed me and had words with our asst. manager.

Obviously their sales were down too and they were sensitive about it. Mission accomplished.
 
Fun thread.
I ccw IWB everywhere I go, except govt buildings or places with detectors. Cold weather, no problem hiding the Python or 1911. Summer, I’ll reduce to a Kimber UltraCarry, a J-frame or an LCP.
I’ll accept the penalty if I get caught, but refuse to accept the penalty for obeying a sign or law that prevents me from carrying a gun, at the one location and time I’ll most likely need it. Gun-free zones ain’t, at inopportune moments.
Yeah, I drive faster than the legal limit daily. I’ve paid my tickets.
I also show both hands and my ccp and drivers license when pulled over. Cops here actually thanked me for doing so, and for letting them know verbally that I carried a gun, and what and where it was located.
I do not want to be the guy who shoots a bystander due to a poorly placed shot, over-penetration from a .357 Magnum round, etc., but I more importantly don’t wanna be somewhere with my knife in my hand during a gunfight I wasn’t prepared for.
The law can fine me for whatever ordinances I have willingly disobeyed, IF I used the prohibited weapon and survived the gun battle. If I be dead, what do I care?
As Billy says, Carry Every Step, Every Day. Or something close to that.
I haven’t been caught out during 30 years of legal and illegal ccw use. If I am, try and make a retired guy give a sniffle. That just means an attorney will have some job security😪

I know one that does. As I walked up to talk to her handler , who is a friend , with spare mag in pocket , the dog alerted. I nicknamed her tattletale after that.

Yeah...the dog alerted.

Lemme tell you about dogs alerting.

Once upon a time, way back in the mid-80s when color pictures were still a novelty, I was in the Navy stationed at Orlando, Fl for Nuclear Power School.

I used to come in an hour or two early to get some extra study time in.

One morning, the base MAA came through all the classrooms with a K-9 to sniff all the lockers and desks for drugs. He walked the dog along all the lockers, then up and down each row of desks.

I was the only other person in the classroom.

The dog alerted at my desk.

MAA: Do you have anything in your desk?

ME: Yep. My lunch.

MAA: Could you show me, please?

ME: Sure. *lifts desk top, pulls out brown lunch bag with ham sandwich in it*

MAA: *smacks dog between the ears* Come on, nitwit!

🤣 🤣 🤣

Part of the reason why I'm on this site is the exchange of information. It's also camaraderie, as well. So it kinda irks me when someone says something like "Google it yourself".

Yes...some of that information might be easily found by a simple search. But we're a community of similarly-minded people here and that's important, too.

An answer to a question such as this is best provided with a link supporting your own answer. This way the person asking the question gets an answer with a source to back it up.

A source which that person can now refer to in the future as well.

Not every source out there is necessarily clear or easy to find.

Here's my answer:

Visit handgunlaw.us and click the link for NC.

Every page for each state is organized the same way, so you'll be able to find similar information on any state's laws in the same place on its page.

Scroll down to the section labeled "Do "No Gun Signs" Have the Force of Law?". There you'll not only find your answer, but a reference to the relevant state link as the source of that answer. This way you can go straight to the state statutes and verify it.

This is important, because even though this site does an excellent job of staying up to date, you can check the source itself to be sure.

The last page contains a list of updates. For NC, on 10/15/2021, this page was checked for all quoted statutes against the 2021 statutes.

§ 14-415.21. Violations of This Article Punishable As an Infraction.

(a) A person who has been issued a valid permit who is found to be carrying a concealed handgun without
the permit in the person's possession or who fails to disclose to any law enforcement officer that the person

infraction and shall be punished in accordance with G.S. 14-3.1. Any person who has been issued a valid
permit who is found to be carrying a concealed handgun in violation of G.S. 14-415.11(c)(8) shall be guilty
of an infraction and may be required to pay a fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500.00). In lieu of paying a
fine the person may surrender the permit..

(a1) A person who has been issued a valid permit who is found to be carrying a concealed handgun in
violation of subsection (c2) of G.S. 14-415.11 shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

It bothers me, too if people get salty with people for asking. The way I look at it is you have to find the statute first. Often it is written in a way that requires explanation or is missing context. I have had many a case where I did get sound legal advise here because knowledgeable people on here chimed in. No reason to reinvent the wheel.

So, does No Concealed Weapons mean Open Carry Is Fine?????

I’ve mentioned this before…

After picking up my wife at the Greensboro Airport (leaving my gun in the car), I decided to get an answer to that very question. I phoned the airport police office and asked. The officer told me the window sign means exactly that…no concealed firearms. He did caution me, “But, if you happen to enter the terminal, open carrying, when I’m not on duty, don’t be surprised if the other officers react differently”. 😂
