CC at the Outer Banks, NC

[dash8avionic]

Any of you guys ever carry down there on vacation? I'm staying in Kill Devil Hills. The pistol is going to stay in the truck or hotel during my stay, hard to conceal a P220 when wearing swimming trunks. Any places you know that are off limits, like the National Seashore Areas, or the ferry boats. I know the Wright Brothers Memorial is off limits.

Thanks in advance for any answers,

Two things:

1. I'm jealous, I love the outer banks, haven't been there in.. 10 years

2. North Carolina has some very strange carry laws (at least compared to PA). I think any place that charges admission is off-limits to carry. Don't take my word for it though, I haven't looked up the statutes in a few years.

This is correct. There are a number of other off limit areas: banks, establishment that sell alcohol for consumption ie. restaurants, bars. But you can carry into the food store to buy a case of beer, no worries. Also you are required to inform the officer when stopped by producing your LTCF along with your other ID.(That is if you are carrying at the time.)

The font in that PDF doesn't make for fastest reading, but it is a nice compendium of info on NC firearms laws.

No kidding...a permit, just to purchase a firearm?!?!? I sort of expected southern states to have fewer restrictions. The more I learn about other states' requirements, the more I like PA (except for our archaic, socialist liquor laws).

Hmmmm.

Well, that makes yet another State to put a red "X" through on my map of the United States "States NOT to move to."

Thank all the NY/NJ Liberals who retire down there.

I actually know some NY(originally)/NJ liberals who moved to the Charlotte area after 15 years in FL. They call them "half-backs", 'cause they moved half way back to where they started!

I've been going down there saince I was a kid. Have you ever been there before? Not to sure on the carry laws myself, but the admission thing sounds familiar.

I carried down there last summer while I was on vacation. It's a real pain. Every time you go somewhere you have to make sure you're not going someplace that serves alcohol. You really have to plan ahead while you're there.

You also can't carry anywhere that is a large gathering of people that charges admission (for example, a movie theatre).

I won't be moving to NC anytime soon (EVER!).
