Perhaps I should be more clear. Here is the comment:
"This is how it should be. You just have to be wary of how public the place is, as NC is a common law state and the law says that any type of pistol counts as "an unusual weapon" and that carrying/brandishing could be cause to incite public discomfort/panic. If someone complains, the cops can legally be called out and they can ask you to leave the premises. I've never known it to happen, but the framework for it is there so just be alert and aware.
There are also local ordinances that may prohibit open carry. Just know the law where you're at. If you're in a good area though (like me, out in the boonies) you'll be totally fine. The cops 'round these parts are all buddy-buddy with everyone so long as you're not a dick or make them feel endangered."
I guess my specific questions would be:
1)Is a pistol really considered an "unusual" weapon?
2)Would you really be incited for inciting panic?
3)Can a cop really ask you to leave a public building or property?
4)Can cities really prohibit open carry? (I know Cary is uppity.)
