OC rifle or shotgun legal nc

[J-SiN]

I was reading the flyer and I noticed it states you can carry a handgun
Let's say you were going to travel to a firing range for the shot heard around
The country April 19th at noon.
What if you wanted to ride your Harley ?
Is it legal to openly strap your shotgun or rifle to your back and travel to the destination?

Short answer to your question: Yes. All that stuff in the manual about long gun transport is there to keep someone from inadvertently, and illegally, concealing the gun. You are quite lawful in OCing long guns, either on your person or in/on your vehicle. The only way I see of getting into trouble would be with some LEO with a wild hair catching you in a GFSZ. I carry mine often when on my BMW, slung over my shoulder or secured across the rear seat. No problems, ever.

Enjoy the ride.

rules of thumb in NC;

In reach, but in plain sight. you are good

out of reach but covered, OK

in reach but covered not OK. i am pretty sure a CHP does not cover a long gun

i do think that a long gun in a case is covered by the fact everybody knows what it is

Nope. In a saddle sheath or holster, okay. Otherwise you could have a gun case that could contain anything, even a musical instrument.

CHP= concealed handgun permit as defined by NC statute 14.415.10 (3) and the statute is quite specific of what a hand gun is as outlined in 14.415.10 (2).
