    Full open carry preemption on ALL NC gamelands up for public comment

    All right guys. Here we go again. I know there was some grumbling about certain gamelands being exempt from firearms carry. This will fix that for OC at least. H9. Allow open carry of firearms anytime on state-owned game lands and wildlife conservation areas. Justification: Legislation...

    We got Gamelands OC and CC!!!!!!

    Yes!!!!! This has been a gripe of mine for a while. Particularly since I spend most of my time on gamelands outside of hunting season, mostly fishing and hiking. We were limited to a .22 pistol or shotgun in the past. No more! If you are legal to possess it, you are legal to carry it. I'm...

    Concealed carry on Gamelands- where to comment

    The NCWRC is wanting to allow CC on gamelands for permit holders. The rule change, along with all others, is available here. It's H8 under weapons. http://www.ncwildlife.org/HotTopics/documents/2012-13_Proposals.pdf Comments can be left on the website here...

    Gamelands carry, some headway

    Again, the headway is in CC on Gamelands. Here is the email I received a week or so ago. Last week a set of regulation proposals was reviewed by our board of commissioners that will allow individuals with concealed carry permits to carry firearms concealed on game lands, boating access areas...

    Dumb, dumb, just dumb

    What do we always harp on? Know the laws! Why? So you don't do this! After looking through a few reports it does appear that he was open carrying. Though no one is saying it for sure. He was arrested after Alexander County 9-1-1 took a call from Stony Point Elementary School at...

    HB 650 Amend various gun laws

    Yeah it's mostly CC, BUT it strikes the city/county ability to band "display" think Cary, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Here's the big one. School carry in vehicles. Parks carry. Preemption with real teeth. Parade carry. City and county display codes struck. Bank CC struck. Reciprocity with all...

    Saw an OC'er today- sorta

    Stopped in the Wilco Hess truck stop on Hwy 74 just between Monroe and 485. I walked in and there was a guy at the counter buying a drink and other stuff. I noticed he had a bunch of stuff on his belt so I checked a little closer. From back to front, a clip with driving gloves, flashlight in...

    NCWRC public hearings

    We've had several discussions about how ridiculous it is to limit us to carrying a .22 pistol on Gamelands outside of hunting seasons. Here is your chance to submit comments online or in person. Here is the schedule for the meetings. Get involved if you don't like this or any other regulation...

    Just a beautiful day on the parkway

    imported post Drove around on the BRPW near Asheville a bit today. Nice to not have to lock up the firearms now. I did notice that the Folk Arts Center was not posted. I thought that was odd. I know you still can't carry in there, but I could see that getting someone into some hot water for...

    Thanks from Hickory, NC

    imported post Some background info on me. I have been OC'ing around Hickory for the last year without a problem. But there have been some issues with a few folks who OC and CC with some of the officers. It seems that Georgia Carry's and others hard work is being noticed all the way up here...

    Hickory PD and GATTTOTP

    imported post I know someone who sat in on a meeting with the Hickory PD today. Several issues were discussed, including one that I am happy to report. One of the senior officers, Major IIRC, passed out some info and instructed all of his officer to pass the word onto their subordinates and...

    Cary and OC, again

    imported post Here is the Cary, NC page for firearms. http://www.townofcary.org/Departments/Police_Department/Community_Services/Firearms_within_the_Town_of_Cary.htm Specifically this. The Town of Cary does not allow the open or concealed carry of a weapon while on any public property within...

    NC gamelands carry

    imported post After talking to several folks it seems that the NCWRC does not seem to know that there is an issue with carrying defensive firearms on gamelands. Right now you are restricted to .22 caliber during the non hunting days. Some seasons you can carry larger handguns, but it's a...

    Kudos to Conover Wal Mart

    imported post I stopped into Conover WM last night after work, about midnight. Stalking some ammo that I had heard was beginning to reappear in the area. I walked back to sporting goods and stared at a relatively well stocked ammo cabinet. :shock: It took me a while to track down the 9mm...

    Confronted at WalMart

    imported post I was confronted about OC'ing my G19 tonight as I left Walmart in Granite Falls, NC. The guy looked to be a CSM, manager type. He spoke to me as I was leaving, however he missed me when I walked right by him coming in. I am positive this guy told me you could not carry any...
