I'm visiting Asheboro, NC in the near future and am looking forward to OCing. I've reviewed the NC state law. Is anyone aware of Asheboro local/muni issues or attempts to buck pre-emption?

I found their muni code and found provisions about discharging weapons as well as carrying in parks/buildings.

§ 130.02 PROHIBITION OF CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS IN CITY BUILDINGS AND PARKS.

(A) Posting of signs required. The City Manager is authorized and instructed to post conspicuous signage at appropriate locations on or within each park and each building or portion of a building owned, leased as lessee, operated, occupied, managed, or controlled by the city, as well as the appurtenant premises to the buildings, indicating that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited therein.

(B) Location of signs. Signs on buildings shall be visibly posted on the exterior of each entrance by which the general public can access the building. The City Manager shall exercise discretion in determining the number and appropriate location of signs to be placed on or within appurtenant premises and parks.

The Mayor can also prohibit possession of firearms in an emergency and there's city prohibitions on carrying in parades. I don't expect any of these to apply during my visit.

Are there any local experiences or issues to be aware of? Thanks!

I don't think that they have anything special pertaining to the town. I am currently back visiting my family here and I just carried all day. Absolutely no trouble at all.
